Assistant Headteacher Learning and Teaching

Applications are invited for the post of Assistant Head (Learning and Teaching) with effect from January 2022. The post-holder will, in partnership and consultation with the Deputy Head oversee learning and teaching at Maricourt Catholic High School, both on-site and online (a comprehensive online learning programme was successfully implemented during recent periods of national lockdown).

The successful applicant will have a high degree of digital literacy, but will act upon evidence-based pedagogy. Their understanding of how to teach highly intelligent and aspirational young people in an effective and inspiring way, will be matched by a desire to keep their own and their colleagues’ pedagogical skills and knowledge as up-to-date as possible. 

This new role arises from a vacancy due to an external promotion of a member of the School’s Senior Leadership Team. It is anticipated that the appointed candidate may choose to seek a headship in due course. This is a rare and excellent opportunity to become part of the leadership team at this vibrant, aspiring and joyful school.

Maricourt was founded in 1957 under the trusteeship of the Sisters of Mercy. Our Catholic ethos pervades all aspects of our school life, making Maricourt a focused, caring and happy community where each individual can flourish. Our Catholic ethos and the Sisters of Mercy charism is at the heart of everything we do and we pride ourselves on living out our mission statement of love and respect. We are a school steeped in history with an exciting future ahead. If you share our ambitions, then we would love you to come and join us. This really is a special place to be.

The closing date for applications is Monday 18th October 2021 at 9am, although candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The School reserves the right to commence or complete the interview process at any time prior to the closing date.
