About the Role

Our school Vison, Mission and Ethos are deeply rooted in our Catholic faith – ‘With Respect, Optimism, Community and Kindness (ROCK), we, like St Peter, follow in the footsteps of Jesus to build our family community’. 

We are part of the Diocese of Clifton and the Bishop’s vison for Catholic education in the Diocese is for all Catholic schools in Clifton Diocese to belong to one of three diocesan Catholic Education Trusts. These Trusts are families of schools, united by a shared Catholic identity, a spirit of mutual support, and a deep commitment to excellence. To this end, the Board of Governors has entered into a time of full engagement with the Little Way Catholic Educational Trust (LWCET) with the aim of seeing through our part of the Bishop’s vision for our Diocese.

We are looking to appoint:

  • A faith-filled, inspirational leader who leads a Catholic community with integrity, authentically living the school’s mission and exemplifying its ROCK values.
  • A proven school leader with a strong track record of driving improvement, including raising outcomes for disadvantaged students and leading sustained, positive change.
  • A leader who has high expectations of behaviour for the whole community, with experience in supporting students to successfully access their learning, minimising disruption, and creating an inclusive learning environment for all.
  • Someone who builds trust through visibility, approachability, and fairness, valuing every member of staff and actively recognising achievement to raise morale.
  • A collaborative leader who empowers and trusts senior leaders, capable of implementing clear structures with due consideration for staff wellbeing.
  • A dynamic forward-facing leader with a clear, compelling vision and the ability to communicate it effectively, securing trust, and confidently promoting the school and celebrating success within the wider community.
  • Someone who will uphold and demonstrate the Nolan principles of public life at all times.

The position has arisen due to the retirement in August 2026 of our current Principal, Kevin McDermott.
