The Governors wish to appoint an excellent Teacher of Health and Social Care to provide cover for maternity leave. This post is a re-advertised post, may be full-time or part-time as above and should appeal to both recently qualified teachers or to more experienced candidates, looking to develop further in an outstanding school. Applicants do not necessarily need to have a Health and Social Care qualification, related disciplines will be considered equally.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone wishing to join an outstanding department and a highly successful school. The role will provide much professional development for the successful candidate, to support further career progression. Unstinting support will be given. If you are would like to discuss this post further, please do not hesitate to contact Suzanne Fisher, Director of Staffing, on 0191 215 3260.

St Mary’s is a great place to work and provides excellent job satisfaction, as it is a very supportive environment. We provide excellent CPD for ECTs and recently qualified teachers, as well as on-going training for more experienced teachers. There are opportunities for teachers at all levels to help develop teaching and learning across the school, working collaboratively with teachers from other departments, whether as coaches, researchers or SLEs. The working environment is, therefore, a very stimulating one for all staff and is an added attraction of this post.

St Mary’s is a very popular and happy school, rated Outstanding by the Diocese and Ofsted. We became an academy in 2013 and enjoy outstanding facilities in a new building, which opened in 2011. We joined the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust in June 2020. We are also very popular with parents and are one of the most over-subscribed schools in the North-East. The roll has grown from around 1100 five years ago to over 1450 by September 2021, with 5 year groups of around 240. The Sixth Form currently has over 270 students and will grow to around 300 in the next couple of years, as larger and strongly academic year groups move into Sixth Form.

At St Mary’s, Health and Social Care is a well-established and highly respected department with excellent results. Recent highlights include:-

Key Stage 4

• 57% of BTEC Level 2 Health & Social Care grades were Level 2 Distinction or better over the last 4 years, and 75% Level 2 Merit or better

• 93% Level 2 Pass rate over the last 4 years

Key Stage 5

• 93% of BTEC Level 3 Diploma Health & Social Care students over the last 4 years achieved at least a Double Distinction, with 100% achieving Double Merit or higher

• 95% of BTEC Level 3 National Certificate Health & Social Care students achieved at least a Distinction, with 100% achieving Merit or higher

• 100% of BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Children’s Development were a Distinction or better in 2020 and 2021.

• Level 3 Value Added scores achieved in Health & Social Care in the last 2 years this was measured (2018 and 2019) were significantly above national standards

Leadership, teaching and the climate for learning in Health and Social Care are all outstanding, as they are across the school.

Above all, the Governors wish to appoint a leader with:-

• A clear commitment to nurturing and promoting the school’s distinctive ethos

• A passion for providing the best possible holistic education for all students

• A commitment to maximising achievement through excellence in teaching and learning

• An excellent track record as a classroom teacher

• The ability to promote a love of learning Health and Social Care in our students
