Head of English
(MPS-UPS) + TLR OF 1B
Required for September 2024
Governors are seeking to appoint for September 2024 a suitably experienced and inspirational leader who is passionate about ensuring high achievement and outstanding outcomes for all students.
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 to receive three SSAT awards for exceptional outcomes in 2023, winning for attainment, progress and closing the gap. The college is therefore a highly successful school which offers exceptional opportunities for a talented, committed and enthusiastic teacher to lead the English department.
The person appointed would be joining and leading a very strong English Department regularly achieving well above national average results at both GCSE and A’ Level. This is the ideal post for an experienced English teacher who wishes to develop their middle leadership skills and broaden their experience within a supportive environment which will allow them to excel. As part of this team you will have the opportunity to teach across the age and ability range up to and including A level, within modern state of the art buildings.
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 Multi Academy Trust opening 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
