Job overview

Required! - A primary teacher who is passionate about helping every child to succeed and improve their life chances.

We are a 3-19 all age fully inclusive Academy on an exciting journey to become an outstanding organisation and are very proud that in 2014 we received an SSAT award for our students being in the top fifth of schools nationally when looking at their progress across a broad range of subjects.

We are also delighted to be able to offer state-of-the-art facilities in a new £36 million building providing staff with the opportunity to teach in a cutting edge and vibrant environment.

Our primary and sixth form phases are already considered to be good and it is an exciting time to be joining us as we work hard towards our primary becoming outstanding and also improve and bring in line our KS4 outcomes.

We are currently in consultation to become a Multi Academy Trust alongside two outstanding secondary schools - St James’s C of E High School and Canon Slade School, and should it come into being later this summer there will be opportunities to work collaboratively within the wider MAT community sharing good practice and building on the much needed improvement work and progress that has been taking place this year. It is hoped, in time, that another primary school will join our MAT. As a family of Church of England schools we believe we can offer more opportunities to pupils and staff and continue to create an educational environment which celebrates the uniqueness of every child.In September 2017, our new Headteacher Rachael Lucas will be joining us to steer the Academy through this next phase of our development.

We are looking for a qualified or soon to be qualified teacher who:

  • can quickly form positive and supportive relationships with our children and their parents
  • can enthuse and motivate pupils to work hard and try their best
  • can demonstrate the potential to deliver outstanding outcomes to all pupils irrespective of their starting point
  •  can provide for all learners whatever their needs
  •  is prepared to share good practice and actively seek to continue to explore ways to improve his/her teaching
  •  understands that behaviour management starts with the quality of his/her teaching in the classroom
  •  demonstrates personal resilience and role models those personal qualities we wish to instil in our young people

 In return we can offer:

  •  fantastic facilities
  •  a supportive and encouraging staff team
  •  opportunities for continuous professional development including a great NQT programme
  •  a paid premium to a Healthcare Cash Plan to claim back contributions towards dental, optical and other medical costs
  •  24/7 access to an Employee Assistance Programme
  •  access to a Cycle to Work Scheme
  •  access to a Childcare Voucher Scheme
  •  a heavily subsidised daily hot drinks allowance
  •  a lunch allowance for those colleagues volunteering to assist in lunchtime duties or activities

Please note that if the MAT is established, then employment would transfer to the MAT.

The academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service. We welcome applications regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion.

Bolton St Catherine’s Academy is located in a £36 million building with innovative spaces and state of the art facilities to support children’s learning. These facilities are amongst the very best in the country and support us in delivering a rich, varied and relevant curriculum and fantastic extra curricular activities outside the classroom. We are co-located with Firwood High School with whom we share some central facilities and to whom we also provide some ancillary services. 

Bolton St Catherine’s Academy is an inclusive, purposeful and high achieving educational community for children and young people aged 3 to 19. The Christian values of hope, valuing self and others, responsibility, truth, forgiveness and justice pervade all aspects of Academy life. The care, guidance and support for our children and young people are exceptional. Our specialisms are business and enterprise, leadership and mathematics and we promote life-long learning.

It is an exciting time to be joining us as we work hard to improve and bring in line our KS4 outcomes with those in our primary and 6th form phases which are already considered to be good. We are in the final stages of consultation to join two outstanding schools in the newly formed Bishop Fraser Trust early next year - St James’s C of E High School and Canon Slade School, where there will be opportunities to work collaboratively within the wider MAT community, sharing good practice and building on the much needed improvement work and progress that has been taking place in our secondary phase this year. As a family of Church of England schools we believe we can offer more opportunities to pupils and staff and continue to create an educational environment which celebrates the uniqueness of every child.

Through the values of  • Work hard. • Be respectful and honest. • Value others and relationships with them •  we continue to build on the progress we have made. Our Secondary and Primary schools are full again this year and not forgetting that in 2016 Ofsted judged our Primary School and Sixth Form as "Good". Our Primary school has also gained the best KS2 results of any school in the BL2 postcode area. We continue to develop the mind set and culture within the Academy so that every member of our community, students and staff, strives hard to make progress and takes immense pride in their effort and work. 

Our students will leave us with:  • Good academic outcomes • The Christian values of respect, tolerance and service • A positive and enduring outlook  so that they live happy, healthy and purposeful lives – irrespective of their background or circumstances.
