We are looking for a well-qualified and passionate teacher to join the English Department at our popular, oversubscribed school which enjoys an excellent reputation for academic success and pastoral care. Bishop Walsh is a great place to teach where children enjoy learning. We believe in leading pupils to academic excellence, spiritual development and social awareness.
The successful candidate will join a very successful English department. At KS5 English is very popular. The department runs two courses; A Level English Literature and A Level English Literature and Language with 100% pass rate, both subjects with many grades at A*, A and B. At GCSE in 2019 the school achieved 85% grades 4 – 9 in Maths and English.
It would be desirable, but not essential, if the successful candidate could offer Media to GCSE and/or A Level.

Applications are welcomed from non-Catholics willing to support our Catholic ethos.
Applications from well-qualified NQTs are welcomed as well as more experienced teachers.
St John Paul II Multi Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.
