Our Mission Statement:

‘At St Gabriel’s, we are an inclusive Catholic family who embrace diverse identities, faiths and beliefs. We strive to use our God-given talents to serve others and to succeed. The Lord is our strength, which inspires us to make positive contributions to our school community and be valued members of our global society.’

St Gabriel’s is a comprehensive High School situated in central Bury, Greater Manchester. We have welcomed pupils aged 11-16 from a variety of partner primary schools since 1954, and hold a strong reputation within our local community for strong academic success and excellent pastoral care. We are part of the St Teresa of Calcutta Roman Catholic Academy Trust.

St Gabriel’s was inspected by Ofsted in March earlier this year, and has been graded ‘Good’ in all areas. We encourage applicants to read our report via our website to gather a true sense of the strengths of our school. In our last Diocesan inspection, we were graded as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas. Christ is at the centre of all that we are and all that we do. This truly is an exciting time to join the St Gabriel’s family.

As a member of staff at St Gabriel’s, you will work within the school and more broadly be able to collaborate with our colleagues in other schools across our Trust. Local and central development opportunities will support the growth of the successful candidate.

We invite applicants to join this successful team who are:

·                 Enthusiastic, passionate, creative, flexible, and innovative with the drive and determination to successfully contribute to improving students’ life chances.

·                 A dedicated team player who develops excellent relationships with learners and colleagues

·                 A professional who communicates clear expectations, leads by example, and promotes at all times positive behaviour for learning

·                 Willing to fully support and at all times uphold the policies and positive ethos of the school.

·                 Willing to participate in personal continued professional development.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to enhanced DBS checks and satisfactory references, including your suitability to work with students. Applications will only be considered from individual applicants on our standard application form, and not via CV alone or agencies.
