St Catherine's is a school very proud of its friendly atmosphere, excellent pastoral care and strong academic reputation. Our School Mission captures the spirit of our happy, confident and inclusive community.

Working closely with the Deputy Head Academic, the SENDCo fulfils an important role in the care and support of all pupils, ensuring that all pupils receive personalised, high-quality support that enables them to achieve their potential.

In this role, you will manage a small team, support girls both individually and in small groups and workshops, and liaise with parents, other staff and external professionals to ensure best practice.

All members of staff at St Catherine's are expected to be supportive of the aims and ethos of a Catholic school and to share responsibility for pastoral care and the co-curricular programme. Staff are committed to safeguarding principles and health and safety at all times. Staff also ensure good communication with parents, ensure the highest quality and standards of teaching and learning, and encourage all pupils to participate enthusiastically.

If you feel you have the experience, enthusiasm and commitment we are looking for, then we would be delighted to receive an application from you.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
