Salary - MPS to UPS The Governors are looking to appoint a hard-working, inspiring and talented Maths teacher to join our existing team and help take St Oscar Romero Catholic School into the next chapter of its exciting journey. Our school has been on a rapid journey of improvement, something that was recognised in July 2019 when our school was judged outstanding in all categories in its Diocesan Section 48 inspection. Last year, 86% of students achieved at least a Grade 4 in both English and Maths and 60% of students achieved at least a Grade 5 (known as a strong pass) in both English and Maths. Our challenge this year is to improve even further on that. In September 2024, the school will open Sixth Form provision for its Year 12 students and will be offering a traditional academic curriculum with some vocational qualifications. There is the possibility of teaching A-level Maths for the right candidate. We would be happy to receive applications from MPS and UPS teachers. The Maths department is a creative and energetic team, who are always looking for new ways to deliver the curriculum that excite, stretch and provoke curiosity in our students. Their excellent results are evidence of their deep commitment to our students. We are seeking to recruit a new member of the Maths team who will bring spark, energy and empathy to the department as our school continues on its quest to be the best in the country. If you have a passion to see young people succeed, are motivated and resilient and support our Catholic ethos, please download an application pack from our website www.stromeros.co.uk. Please only use the application form included in the pack and follow the instructions on how to apply which can be found in the introductory letter.

The school’s next inspection will be a graded inspection’ ● New small academic Sixth Form, with highly aspirational students who want to learn The school is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to the safeguarding and protection of children and individuals.
