- A person with vision, drive and ambition, who is passionate about the success of all children
- A strong and visible commitment to Christian education
- A person with successful experience of senior leadership and proven success in leading improvement
- A person who will play a full and active part in the local community.
We will offer you:
- Students who are enthusiastic and committed to their learning
- A school with a caring and genuine Christian ethos
- A community fully supportive of the school’s further success
- A Leadership Team, Staff and Governors who are dedicated, talented and highly motivated
- An opportunity to lead an outstanding school with ambitions to grow and a commitment to sharing and developing best practice.
As part of our exciting and developing future, we anticipate in September 2019 the school will join a newly formed Diocesan Multi Academy Trust of 21 schools.

Values and Vision
St Francis Xavier School is a church school that aims to inspire a love of god in each child, and shows a great level of pride in its students, who it considers to be fantastic ambassadors for the school.
While there are a lot of ways that the school shows its Christian faith, from its year group Eucharistic services, to its liturgies at Christmas, Easter and the end of the school year, St Francis Xavier is an educational environment that welcomes students of all other faiths and none to be part of its vibrant, friendly and supportive school community.

The curriculum ensures the excellent development of students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding and enables them to develop into confident and responsible young adults as they grow through the school. The behaviour of students is outstanding and reflects the school’s values.”
