The School

We are a co-educational 11-18 school, in Eastham, Merseyside, England. We are a dynamic, successful and growing school. The school was was graded “Good” by Ofsted in October 2022.

South Wirral is a school where every child matters and every child thrives. The aims of our curriculum are to develop successful learners, confident and inspired individuals and aspiring, responsible citizens. Extra-curricular activities are an integral part of school life, as we help students to build skills in the 5 'LORIC' principles – Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative and Communication.

As a proud member of The Challenge Academy Trust (TCAT), we benefit from strong collaboration with a family of like-minded schools. This partnership enhances opportunities for both students and staff, supporting our commitment to continuous improvement and educational excellence.

We are looking to recruit staff who share our vision and values to ensure that every child becomes the best version of themselves.

Subject Specialism and Teaching Allocation

This post combines teaching across both Business and Computing. The final teaching allocation will be weighted towards the successful candidate’s subject specialism and experience. We are keen to appoint the strongest candidate and will structure the timetable so that the majority of teaching is in the preferred subject area of the appointed teacher, while maintaining some contribution across both disciplines where appropriate.
