The school was recognised for a “welcoming, vibrant environment of care and spirituality” and strong relationships where students show deep respect for each other and staff.
Parents also recognise the highest level of pastoral care, reflecting a culture where individuals feel valued.
Alongside this, our Sixth Form is ranked in the top five state-funded schools nationally and is the top-performing faith school in the country.

Why Join Us?

Our aim is that every student gains enjoyment from their study of RE and will become fluent in the skills necessary for life. The lessons we teach are dynamic, varied and interesting, with all students being challenged in a supportive environment. Teachers individualise their own lessons within the curriculum strand being taught. We use various learning packages to enhance the learning of our students which can be web based, electronic teaching and out of classroom learning resources. The department works closely with the Northampton Diocese with support from our School Chaplain. Applications from ECTs are welcomed.

Please note we reserve the right to close the vacancy earlier if there are sufficient applications.
