Headteacher
L24 – L39 £75,466 to £108,402
Start date: January 2023 or sooner
The Trust Board and Local Governing Body of St Mary’s Catholic School are looking to appoint an inspiring Headteacher. Our current Headteacher has led the school superbly over the last seven years, and has now been promoted to be CEO of the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy Trust.
We are looking for an exceptional candidate to steward, develop and lead this Catholic community into the future.
The school is in very strong shape, educationally, financially and in our Catholic Life: Our Academic performance figures are consistently strong; our school has enjoyed a £7m refurbishment programme over the last few years (completed April 2022), the school has expanded to 6FE (with one year group at 7FE), and demand for school places has never been higher; our Section 48 report gives you a true flavour of the school – students enjoy coming to school and there are deep foundations with a strong Catholic ethos running through the entire school.
We can offer you a dedicated and supportive Governing Body, highly supportive parents, motivated staff and students, and a fantastic environment in which to work.
You will find more information in the Headteacher pack, and if you are a practising Catholic with the faith, commitment and calling to lead our school, then we look forward to hearing from you.
For an informal and confidential conversation about this post please contact Dion Mills on 07899 063321.
Application forms and an information pack can be requested by emailing Dion.Mills@hays.com

Closing date: Monday 6th June 9am

Welcome
St. Mary’s has a strong tradition of providing an authentic education which aims to deliver excellence for every member of our Catholic community. It is our mission to build on that tradition as we develop the school still further over the years ahead.
Our school is built upon an ambitious mission for each and every young person: to fulfil academic potential; to be fully developed in the personal, social and spiritual areas of life; to achieve excellence in every area of life; and to be underpinned by Gospel Values, enabling each person to value individuals and contribute positively to society. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure that this mission is accomplished in the lives of all our young people, and in so doing, enable those young people to live life to the full.
The aims of the school are:
• the formation of our young people according to Gospel values;
• the fulfilment of the potential of our pupils in all aspects of the curriculum;
• the personal, social and spiritual development of our pupils into responsible, generous and caring members of society;
• the achievement of all these within a culture of respect and appreciation for the worth and contribution of each member of our school and its wider community.
In 1896, five Sisters from the Belgian congregation of St Mary of Namur came to Bishop's Stortford and established a school with just 9 students. These pioneering Sisters were the first to provide Catholic education for the district, and the school rapidly became a success. Their legacy is St Mary’s Catholic School, and as we look to the future with high expectations for continued success, their vision continues to inspire us. This is expressed in our aspiration towards academic excellence founded on Gospel values. In practical terms this also means the best possible pastoral care and guidance and the challenge and support of a broad range of spiritual opportunities which permeate through all aspects of school life.
