Job overview
The Governors are seeking to appoint an individual with a genuine passion for working with students with a range of special educational needs and disabilities. Our learning Support Assistants work with young people in the classroom, in small groups and one-to-one interventions. This is a varied and interesting role, which has a positive impact on children’s education.

We are a strong Catholic community, in which every member of staff contributes to the spiritual and moral life of the school.

From a recent Ofsted inspection (Section 8, 2023) the report stated ‘there is enough evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school could be judged outstanding if we were to carry out a Section 5 graded inspection now. The school’s next inspection will be a graded inspection’
· We were rated ‘Outstanding’ in our Section 48 Diocesan Inspection in July 2019
