We are fortunate enough to serve one of the most diverse student communities in the area. Over 50% of our students come from minority backgrounds and this diversity forms a very real part of who we are as a school community. Whilst we are rightly proud to be a Catholic School, we are equally proud that students and staff of all faiths, ethnic groups, nationalities and backgrounds are not only welcomed, but flourish here.

Students at St. John Fisher School are set high aspirational targets and are provided with a wide range of opportunities which will enable them to use and extend the skills and talents they have been blessed with.

Due to the internal promotion of the current post holder after many years of loyal service, we are in the unique position to continue to develop the leadership of our school. This is a fantastic opportunity for leaders to diversify their skill set and experience portfolio.

We are seeking to appoint a candidate with strong leadership and management skills, presence and drive, who is willing to support every individual to fulfil their potential.

We would welcome applications from candidates who aspire to Headship and will support them in every way to achieve this. The Governing Board and Headteacher are seeking candidates with:

The knowledge and ability to challenge, support and lead alongside the Headteacher.
An unrelenting drive to raise standards and support our students’ aspirations.
A track record of supporting and developing strong inclusion standards.
A commitment to inclusion, attendance and behaviour working well for all students.
An ability to develop an exciting extracurricular programme and associated links which supports excellent behaviour and attendance.

A commitment to comprehensive Catholic education
