(Possible R & R for a suitably experienced candidate)
Required for September 2024
St Michael’s Catholic College is an outstanding school which offers exceptional opportunities for a talented, and enthusiastic teacher of Science to join a committed and enthusiastic Science department. As a core subject Science is high profile at the College and as a result we have very high levels of engagement across all key stages, including a very good uptake in all 3 Sciences at A’ Level. The college also has a Science STEM Lead to support the Science department to fulfil its vision to promote STEM and lifelong opportunities in Science for all.
St Michael’s Catholic College has been judged outstanding by Ofsted on two consecutive occasions and also in the most recent Diocesan Inspection in March 2023. Outcomes continue to be above all local and national performance measures and St Michael’s is the only school in England to receive three SSAT awards for exceptional outcomes in 2023, winning for attainment, progress and closing the gap.
The person appointed would be joining a very strong Science department regularly achieving well above national average results at both GCSE and A’ Level. The successful candidate will be a motivated individual with a keen interest in encouraging and inspiring students and who can enable them to flourish. The person appointed will have the opportunity to teach across the age and ability range including KS5 and this position would suit either an experienced teacher or an exceptional ECT, especially those who are Chemistry or Physics specialists. However, Biology specialists are also very welcome to apply.
St Michael’s is an outward looking school with an excellent reputation in the local area. As well as being a strategic partner in the Catholic Schools’ Partnership and Southwark Schools Learning Partnership, St Michael’s is a founding school in the St Benedict Catholic Academy Trust which opened on 1st April 2024. Founding school Headteachers and Governors have worked with Trustees and the Diocese to establish a Trust with a vision and mission to be a beacon of Catholic education, where schools retain their unique identity whilst also being part of a wider community and support network. Alongside these opportunities to work with professionals from a range of other establishments, the college was awarded transforming status by SSAT reflecting the outstanding professional development and wellbeing support we offer to staff. The college’s excellent location by Tower Bridge facilitates a large number of business partnerships and enrichment opportunities.
St Michael’s College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Values and vision
The school is committed to the highest level of achievement for pupils of all abilities and recognises that there are no limits to a child’s potential. The ethos is to facilitate academic and personal success in a rigorous learning community and in a culture which embraces the spiritual values of serving others, tolerance, prayer and forgiveness.
It is the St Michael’s belief that students grow into mature and responsible adults through Learning together in a Catholic community. This is achieved through aspiring to academic excellence and success, acquiring confidence, self-esteem and fulfilment of their individual talent, and developing a love of learning, a love of Christ, and a love of each other

“Teachers’ enthusiasm for their subjects and commitment to their students are very evident. They base their planning on detailed knowledge of what their students have already achieved and teach lessons which help all students to make rapid gains in knowledge and understanding. Teachers ask very effective questions to check regularly on students’ progress during lessons.”
