We are seeking an enthusiastic and/or experienced Science teacher to teach across KS3 and KS4 on a maternity cover basis.

Are you a teacher who is passionate about Science and the delivery of an effective science curriculum to pupils of all ages and abilities? Do you have high standards and the commitment, passion, and the ability to teach across the full range of age and ability? Are you ready to join a thriving secondary school with a strong track record of success in Science at all key stages?

This role represents an exciting opportunity to be a part of a school that seeks to secure the very highest educational standards for all of its students. 

Suitable for an experienced teacher or an ECT, we have a strong record of supporting ECT’s and we are passionately committed to developing staff and managing workload to ensure that colleagues enjoy their work and recognise St. Mary’s as an almost-uniquely positive place to teach and enjoy their careers. 

The successful candidate would be expected to teach across the full age and ability range, supported by a dedicated and innovative cast of supporting colleagues. Science classrooms are bright and modern and were amongst the first phase of our exciting capital refurbishment.

Welcome

St. Mary’s has a strong tradition of providing an authentic education which aims to deliver excellence for every member of our Catholic community. It is our mission to build on that tradition as we develop the school still further over the years ahead.

Our school is built upon an ambitious mission for each and every young person: to fulfil academic potential; to be fully developed in the personal, social and spiritual areas of life; to achieve excellence in every area of life; and to be underpinned by Gospel Values, enabling each person to value individuals and contribute positively to society. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure that this mission is accomplished in the lives of all our young people, and in so doing, enable those young people to live life to the full.

The aims of the school are:

• the formation of our young people according to Gospel values;
• the fulfilment of the potential of our pupils in all aspects of the curriculum;
• the personal, social and spiritual development of our pupils into responsible, generous and caring members of society;
• the achievement of all these within a culture of respect and appreciation for the worth and contribution of each member of our school and its wider community.

In 1896, five Sisters from the Belgian congregation of St Mary of Namur came to Bishop's Stortford and established a school with just 9 students.  These pioneering Sisters were the first to provide Catholic education for the district, and the school rapidly became a success. Their legacy is St Mary’s Catholic School, and as we look to the future with high expectations for continued success, their vision continues to inspire us. This is expressed in our aspiration towards academic excellence founded on Gospel values. In practical terms this also means the best possible pastoral care and guidance and the challenge and support of a broad range of spiritual opportunities which permeate through all aspects of school life.
