Teacher of Science

St Paul’s Catholic College is a mixed, non-selective, Catholic secondary school with sixth form, situated in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. There are approximately 1,150 students at the school, 250 of which attend the sixth form.

We are based in the heart of Sussex at the foot of the South Downs and with easy access to the beautiful Sussex coastline. Travel links are excellent with the vibrant city of Brighton within 15 minutes by car or train and direct rapid links to London and international travel through Gatwick Airport.

We look to use technology innovatively and creatively. This has led to all students having their own iPads and also excellent software tools for staff to reduce workload and work collaboratively.

St Paul’s Catholic College was opened in 1963 and in 2004 moved to its current site in a modern and innovative campus. The school plays an active role as part of Bosco Catholic Education Trust and leads the Sussex Maths Hub. This leads to exceptional opportunities for professional development in the classroom and as school leaders.

We pride ourselves in being innovative and never sitting back. We have a deep-rooted commitment to learning and progress. At the part of this is the belief that we have a duty to fulfil each person's potential. We would welcome you to come and visit and find out more.

Values and vision

St Paul’s Catholic College wants all students to achieve their God-given potential and to put their individual talents to good use, nurturing them in a caring and stimulating learning environment. We have a deep rooted commitment to prepare our students for life in the modern world so they will be both happy and successful in all they do.

The school's Catholic ethos encourages pupils to explore their faith and allows for them to develop spiritually, socially and academically. We believe that every student needs to feel 'known and loved' during their time with us.

St Paul’s Catholic College wants to offer a wide range of opportunities for students to have the best possible chance of success and excel both inside and outside the classroom. Enrichment activities available include sports clubs and drama productions, while initiatives such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award allow for pupils to push their boundaries and learn new skills. We would welcome the opportunity to share with you why we believe is such a special community to be part of.
