The Governors wish to appoint an enthusiastic and well qualified Health and Social Care teacher to join this outstanding school.  The successful candidate will contribute to a department that prides itself on very high standards of teaching and learning.  As in all of our appointments, we are looking for a teacher who has a passion for providing an excellent holistic education for students and who would be committed to promoting the school’s distinctive Catholic/Christian ethos.  

St Mary’s is a very successful, popular and happy school, rated Outstanding by the Diocese and Ofsted.  We became an academy in 2013 and enjoy outstanding facilities in a new building which opened in 2011.  We are also very popular with parents and are one of the most over-subscribed schools in the north-east.  We have over 1000 students in the main school and our Sixth Form of 200 is expected to grow to 300 in the next three years.  

In addition, we are a National Support School, increasingly engaged in school to school support, as well as a core partner in a Teaching School Alliance.  Opportunities for professional development are, therefore, wide-ranging and an added attraction for potential new staff.    

At St Mary’s, Health and Social Care is a well-established and highly respected department with excellent results. Recent highlights include:- 

• Key Stage 4 –100% Level 2 Pass or better and 74% Merit or better in 2016 
• Key Stage 5 - 93% of pupils achieved a Distinction or better at Key Stage 5 in 2016 
• Leadership, teaching and the climate for learning in Health and Social Care are all outstanding.  

Above all, the Governors wish to appoint a teacher with:- 

• A clear commitment to nurturing and promoting the school’s distinctive ethos. 
• A passion for providing the best possible holistic education for all students. 
• A commitment to maximising achievement through excellence in teaching and learning.
• An excellent track record as a classroom teacher.
