Job overview
Our school is situated on the Cumbrian coast on the edge of the Lake District National Park and not as remote as you might imagine! It is an easy drive or rail journey to work along some of the most scenic routes in the UK and living in Cumbria might be just the lifestyle change to suit you, with relatively low house prices. It really doesn’t rain all the time!
In January we moved to our new £33m school, which was individually designed (not an ‘off-the-shelf’ model!) and we have state of the art facilities.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, inspirational and talented teacher to join our experienced team of teachers. We want a person who is passionate about learning and teaching in their specialist field (Key Stage 5 teaching may be available), and who is willing to take part in developing the vision, commitment and determination to raise standards across all levels and abilities. This post is suitable for an NQT, RQT or experienced teacher.

All applicants are subject to the requirements of the Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education guidelines. This will include checks with past employers and the need for the successful applicant to hold or undergo a suitable enhanced DBS disclosure.

St Benedict’s Catholic High School is an 11-19 school, with a current roll of 1036 students and a well-established Sixth Form (the West Cumbria Sixth Form), incorporating post-16 students from St Benedict’s School, St Joseph’s School in Workington, and also schools in the surrounding area. At present around 130 students study in the Sixth Form.
The school’s last Ofsted inspection took place in September 2014 and was judged to be ‘good’ with outstanding features. The school serves a wide catchment area in West Cumbria. It is a true comprehensive school with students of all abilities and diverse backgrounds.
The school is inclusive, recognises its faith mission, but welcomes all.
A new Campus-style facility incorporating the rebuild of St Benedict’s and the re-location of Mayfield Special School is nearing completion. This £33m investment is expected to be available to students and the wider community from September 2018.
