Job overview

We are looking for a teacher of Business who has the drive and enthusiasm to provide a high quality and challenging learning experience for our students whilst also ensuring a supportive and encouraging environment. Knowledge and experience of teaching KS4 and KS5 Business across BTEC/GCSE and A Level Business courses is desirable.

We welcome applications from experienced teachers or NQTs (for whom we have a very effective induction and mentoring program) that are committed to securing high standards of learning and teaching in order to raise academic achievement in these very popular subjects in our school.  

It is essential that applicants have very strong subject knowledge and are capable of delivering outstanding classroom practice to Key stages 3 and 4. Our teachers must be able to work collaboratively and supportively with colleagues and have high expectations of all learners.

St Wilfrid’s is a successful 11-18 school with a strong Catholic ethos, set in a caring and inclusive community, where the celebration of our student’s talents and passions are paramount to everything we do. In 2018 the A Level average point score per entry was 29.29 and 67% of students achieved grade 4 in both English and Maths. 

We are ideally situated in a semi-rural location, close to the thriving cities of Leeds and York, and just a short drive from some of the country’s most beautiful locations. Many of our pupils choose to travel from all over Yorkshire to join our caring community.

Further details and an application form are available from www.st-wilfrids.bkcat.co.uk or from Jenny Doherty, the Headteacher’s PA.

Closing date: Midday on Monday, 20th May 2019.

This position is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

About St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School & Sixth Form College, A Voluntary Academy

St. Wilfrid’s Catholic High School and Sixth Form College, with its distinctive Catholic identity, seeks to ensure the development of all students’ spiritual, moral and academic potential, based on its commitment to Christ and His teachings.

As a community, the school is committed to the common good, which is achieved through the fostering of a co-operative and caring ethos, both with St Wilfrid’s, parishes, family and the wider community.

Such an approach is based on the Christian principle of personal dignity and worth where each person’s rights and responsibilities are recognised and respected, and their individual talents nurtured.

These talents include the search for academic excellence within a secure learning environment, where the needs and potential of all pupils are addressed and where achievement, both individual and collective, is celebrated.

We are incredibly proud of our community, students, supportive parents, staff and governors.  All of us work together to make St Wilfrid’s a safe and enjoyable place to learn.

At St Wilfrid’s we have high standards at the heart of all we do. We encourage our students to achieve the best they can across every area of school. A rich and broad curriculum provides high-quality education and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

Our aim is for our students to be confident, caring, resilient young adults with a desire to learn and achieve the best they can, in all they do.

We welcome students of any faith or of none, but our faith has a positive influence on our approach. We are building a community of young adults who recognise and appreciate the value of each other’s company while growing in knowledge and faith. Students feel a sense of responsibility and care for others and are willing to give something of themselves for the happiness and the improvement of the broader community.
