A bit about us: Thank you for your interest in this exciting opportunity to join St Augustine’s Catholic College.

As a Catholic Lasallian College, we are part of a global network of educational institutions inspired by St.

John Baptist De La Salle, the patron saint of teachers.

His mission was to provide the highestquality education to those most in need, always honouring the dignity of each child as a 'son or daughter of a great King.' We strive to live by this vision every day, fostering a welcoming environment where all students and staff feel valued and included.

We are seeking a passionate and aspiring colleague to join our dedicated staff team and make a meaningful contribution to our community. At St Augustine’s, we are committed to sustainable growth and improvement in a constantly evolving world. Our recent OFSTED inspection highlighted this commitment: "The desire to provide educational opportunities which make individuals the best that they can be drives all that the school does.” For us, this means not only achieving academic excellence but also nurturing well-rounded individuals who are ready to make a positive impact on society.

In recent years, our journey of continuous improvement has led to a complete revision of our curriculum, the introduction of an incremental coaching programme for all teachers, and the development of a behaviour system that ensures students can learn in a disruption-free environment.

Central to our mission is our focus on inclusion, which seeks to ensure that every learner can access the curriculum and the opportunities they deserve and are entitled to.

St Augustine’s is consistently a high-performing school, with academic achievements well above national averages, reflecting both the quality of our education and the dedication of our students.

Our recent OFSTED report also noted, "Staff feel proud to work at the school.

Early career teachers receive appropriate guidance and feel well supported.” If you join us, you will be entering a supportive and challenging environment where you can grow professionally while sharing your talents with our vibrant community.

We look forward to learning more about what you can bring to our team and how we can support you on your journey to reaching your full potential.
