We are proud to be part of the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, a family of secondary, middle, primary and first schools in Durham, Gateshead, Northumberland and Sunderland. Bishop Wilkinson is the largest catholic education trust in the North East of England and will have a total of 48 schools. This is an exciting time to join our supportive, and growing team.
St Leonard’s Catholic School is a highly successful and oversubscribed 11-18 secondary school located in the historic cathedral city of Durham. Our school aims to provide a stimulating and encouraging environment within which pupils can attain the highest academic success of which they are capable. Last year, our Progress 8 score at GCSE was +0.5, the 3rd highest in the North East. Following this success, we are looking to increase our Leadership Team and this is a wonderful opportunity for someone wishing to join a forward-thinking school which celebrates a firm sense of Catholic distinctiveness whilst assisting our pupils in taking their place in the world outside school in a fulfilling career, as well-rounded individuals.
The post will include wide-ranging responsibility and accountability, leading and developing other staff, monitoring and evaluation work, as well as working closely with Governors. Precise responsibilities will be agreed with the successful candidate, taking into account their experience as well as the needs of the school.
