About this Role

Saint Michael’s Catholic High School is a thriving, mixed Roman Catholic secondary academy for students aged 11–18. As part of The Diocese of Westminster Academy Trust, we are committed to excellence in education, faith, and personal development. Our most recent Ofsted and CSI inspections in 2025 rated the school as Outstanding. 

We are now seeking a visionary, dynamic and compassionate Headteacher to lead our school community forward. You will be committed to our Catholic ethos, to the spiritual, academic and pastoral development of every student, and to sustaining and deepening a culture of excellence, respect and support.

In partnership with a dedicated, professional team of staff, governors and the Trust, you will:

  • Provide inspirational and strategic leadership of the school, promoting high standards of teaching, learning and pastoral care.
  • Uphold and strengthen our Catholic identity - ensuring that Gospel values shape school life, relationships and decision-making.
  • Nurture each student’s potential - academically, spiritually and personally - preparing them to thrive in the modern world and live out their faith in service to others.
  • Build and sustain strong relationships with families and the wider community, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.

We welcome applicants who bring strong leadership experience, integrity, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine passion for Catholic education. If you are committed to transforming lives through faith and education - and believe in the value of every child - we would love to hear from you.
