I am determined to recruit a talented individual who shares the school's vision to provide exceptional comprehensive education. You will show the drive, tenacity and ability to realise this ambition. I firmly believe the distinct St John Fisher School ethos provides a culture of enthusiasm for continuous improvement; and one of teamwork and open communication. By working together, we are afforded a distinct advantage in what we are able to offer new staff to the school. The opportunity for you to advance your career with us is first class.

Attracting and keeping the best talent is the most effective way to grow a successful school, which is particularly important for us now as we push our pupils to greater GCSE success and grow our Sixth Form. Having joined the school just last year, there have been tremendous changes put in place in order to transform the educational experience of our students. I have extremely high expectations of both staff and students. Ofsted 2017 recognises the direction of travel whilst agreeing with us that we are a requires improvement school with good features.

I hope my determination to take the school to the next level is evident. I recognise that this is by no means easy and demands a relentless focus on standards and improvement to get there and stay there. The successful candidate will be someone who is genuinely up for the challenge. In return, we can promise an investment in you and your future, offering a competitive remuneration and providing first class professional development and career opportunities. We are working with children from all backgrounds, aged 11 to 18 and of all abilities, raising our expectations of them and working hard to prepare them for life beyond the school. This job offers you an opportunity to showcase your talent and demonstrate your capacity to make a real impact in education.

Applying for a new role is a decision which involves much thought and reflection and I hope that we have given you all the detail and information that supports you in making the decision to proceed with your application. If you are seeking a career move, that will challenge and develop your skills, where high standards and expectations are the norm, within a supportive and outward facing environment, then I should be really delighted to hear from you.

I welcome visits organised through the agency.

Good luck with your application and thank you for your interest in St John Fisher School.

Yours sincerely

Dympna Lennon
Head Teacher
