Job overview
St Andrew’s is a mixed, highly inclusive comprehensive school that has love at its core. You will see it in the relationships between staff and students; both in the classrooms and the corridors; and in the excellent pastoral care that every student is given. We hear many describe being part of our school community as being like ‘family’; both giving and receiving unrelenting love. Our core Christian values run through all that we do, both in daily life and in strategic development. We are seeking to appoint a practitioner, who will not only be responsible for the development and implementation of the PSHE and Religious Studies curriculum, but who wants to be part of our vision and community.
Outcomes are very strong, and continue to grow each year and we are excited to welcome new ideas and a new vision. We are aiming to appoint a leader who will take the department, and its curriculum, on the next stage of its journey.
The successful applicant will be responsible for developing and maintaining excellent links with our transition partners, working with our other Heads of Department to develop cross curricular links. The successful candidate will have a positive and solution focused approach, applying a ‘can do’ attitude to any potential challenges and a desire to change the lives of young people for the better.
It truly is an exciting time to join St Andrew’s. Whilst considerable growth and progress has been made in recent years, there is still so much impact to be made as the school goes from strength to strength.
We strongly encourage interested candidate to visit the school, and see us in action. We would be delighted to show you around the school and/or offer a chance to meet the team. Please contact us via email to arrange a convenient time: head@sta-worthing.com

St Andrew’s C of E High School is a co-educational CofE secondary school in West Sussex, serving pupils from the age of 11-16, situated in Worthing. With a pan of 180 per year group, St Andrew’s is a small and community centred school in which every child is known and loved. Having been graded Good in all areas by Ofsted in April 2023, the school continues on its rapid journey of improvement and growth.
St Andrew’s is a community school that has love at its core. You see it in the relationships between staff and students; both in the classrooms and the corridors; and in the excellent pastoral care that every student is given. Students and staff alike have described being part of our school community as being like ‘family’; both giving and receiving unrelenting love. Our core Christian values run through all that we do, both in daily life and in strategic development.
We have the highest expectations and aspirations for all members of our community, and accept nothing less than an individual’s best. We recognise that we are all unique, with unique training and developmental needs – and we aim to give every staff member the best CPD to enable them to reach their career goals, no matter what that goal may be.
Our curriculum is broad and balanced, and enables all students to develop a love of learning alongside focusing on their academic rigour. As we continue to grow, our enrichment offer grows with us – learning does not happen only within a classroom, and our extra-curricular offer continues to develop to reflect this.
We are driven to achieving excellence in all areas, with a keen focus on the narrative journey of the curriculum. We firmly believe that every child can achieve excellence, and that every child has the right to an excellent education.
St Andrew’s is a community that continually seeks to improve, and therefore embraces change and new ideas. There is so much impact to be made within our community, and we work hard to put them, our students, first in all that we do.
