In partnership with the Archdiocese of Birmingham, the Lumen Christi Board of Directors and School Standards Committee of St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School are seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher in the PE Faculty from January 2023.

St Thomas Aquinas is a large and thriving Catholic comprehensive school in the south of Birmingham. Along with seven local primary schools, it is part of growing Catholic Multi Academy. It is a place where staff and students from all faiths live out the school mission. In November 2018 the school was judged to be ‘Good’ by OFSTED. We are proud to be an oversubscribed and examination results in summer 2022 were excellent and unvalidated data places the school in the top 20% of all schools nationally.

The school has improved using a knowledge-based approach; the highest standards of behaviour and academic challenge for all regardless of background.

We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and suitably qualified Teacher of Girls PE. The suitable candidate will join a committed team of specialists with a strong tradition of working together.
