Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity to work in an 11-18 Roman Catholic Girls’ School which was rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in November 2013 for the third consecutive time. The School is situated in a delightful area and is very well served by fast (20 minutes) and award-winning public transport links to Central London but without the high Central London property rents and purchase prices.
The School is a short walk from Upminster town centre and station where Overground (C2C) and Underground (District Line) services are available; the School is also a short drive from the M25, A12 and A13. The locality is also well served by frequent bus services.
We are a thriving and happy school community with a strong family ethos and an excellent reputation leading to heavy oversubscription.
We are seeking to appoint a talented, highly motivated and inspirational professional who will promote Literacy across the school and contribute to the English Department with energy and vision.
We are looking for someone who will:
- Enjoy inspiring and motivating others
- Have a real and authentic passion for the teaching of English and literacy across the curriculum
- Actively support the Catholic ethos of the school
- Be forward thinking, inspirational, receptive to change, and able to work under pressure
- Be committed to school improvement and have a proven track record of success in contributing to high standards
In return we offer:
- An opportunity to be part of a dynamic and creative team
- The opportunity to be part of a talented and dedicated staff who work hard for our school community
- A warm welcome from a school that has earned a reputation as a well-disciplined and caring community
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people. This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. This post is exempt from the provision of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Completed application form (available on the school website), letters of application and the names and addresses of two referees should be sent to the Headteacher at the School by email.
Closing date: Monday 27 March 2017.

The School’s Mission Statement And Aims
The Sacred Heart of Mary Girls’ School is a community of faith with Jesus Christ at its centre and where prayer is part of our daily lives. In our school, we aim to bring out the best in everyone and we are committed to the pursuit of excellence. Gospel values such as honesty, patience, kindness and forgiveness are at the heart of our relationships. We show concern and respect for individuals, valuing each member of our school community as a unique person created in God’s image and loved by Him. While encouraging pupils to become young Christian adults who have a love and appreciation of their own faith, we also help them to have an understanding and respect for other traditions and faiths. Our aim at all times is to recognise Jesus Christ as ‘the Truth’. It is only by believing in Him, and by making Him the centre of our lives, that we can ever be completely happy and completely free.
In the light of our Mission Statement we aim:
To provide a caring, disciplined and stable environment in which teaching and learning can take place, and in which each pupil is respected as a unique person with God given gifts, qualities and particular needs;
To enable pupils to achieve their potential in academic studies, and to assist their intellectual, spiritual, moral, cultural, aesthetic, emotional and physical development in preparation for adult life and family responsibilities;
To help pupils develop respect, tolerance and concern for others, an appreciation of the complexity of the world around them and its cultural diversity, and to become responsible citizens;
To create a happy and purposeful Christian community which will enable pupils to grow in understanding of their faith and of themselves, to enjoy relationships based on trust, courtesy, kindness and co-operation, and to develop confidence and a joy in learning as a sound basis for further/higher education, satisfying careers/vocations and a full life.
