St Julie’s Catholic High School is a popular and oversubscribed school for girls, situated in the conservation area of Woolton Village, South Liverpool. In September 2017, we moved into our brand new £23 million school building. 

GCSE and Sixth Form results in 2022 demonstrated excellent progress since our last inspection with a Progress 8 score in line with national and strong KS5 results for A-level and BTEC. In April 2018 OFSTED graded St. Julie’s as Good with Outstanding features. We are seeking to appoint an experienced SENCO to work to improve the progress and achievement of all learners, with a particular focus on those with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

The SENCO is a member of the Middle Leaders team, a Curriculum Leader and part of the pastoral support team, as well as teaching in their subject area. You will coordinate and monitor the development of Pupil Profiles and Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). The SENCO is expected to actively promote the educational aims and ethos of the school. You will be passionate about your subject, whilst transferring your knowledge in a creative and contextualized way in the classroom, and successfully plan and deliver consistently good lessons on a daily basis that both challenge our students and significantly advance their learning. You will be relentless in your pursuit of progress for each and every one of your students so they can achieve the outcomes they deserve and grow into young adults that positively contribute to their community. You will instill pride in the work they do and encourage their individuality and personal qualities. Wherever you are in your career we focus on what attributes you will bring to the school and most importantly what impact you will have on our students. 

As a Catholic School, we wish to appoint someone who shares our moral purpose of ensuring all our young people receive the best education possible, in a supportive environment, from staff who care about them. You will be resilient, dynamic and passionate about tackling disadvantage and improving students’ life chances. In return, you will find working at St Julie’s incredibly rewarding due to our vibrant and talented students, who have a real thirst for learning, and engage in the various opportunities offered to them. You will join a highly professional, enthusiastic and dedicated staff that ensure St Julie’s is a welcoming, caring and supportive environment in which to learn and work. 

St Julie's Catholic High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. An enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check is required, with Children's Barred List check, for all successful applicants.
