St. Peter’s, judged as Good in our recent OFSTED, is a much sought after and oversubscribed Catholic primary school situated in the historic coastal town of Scarborough.

Following the promotion of our current headteacher, the governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed practising Catholic to lead our talented and effective team in the next phase of our journey towards Outstanding.

We invite applications from suitably qualified and experienced senior leaders with proven management skills and a clear vision for Catholic Education.

We are seeking a headteacher who will:

inspire, challenge and motivate staff, in order to maintain and develop the best teaching and learning;
work closely with our governing body in the assessment, monitoring and evaluation of pupils’ progress, attainment and wellbeing; and
work collaboratively with local heads but in particular with heads of other local Catholic schools to ensure high standards of attainment and to sustain and develop the school’s Catholic Ethos;

We offer you a school community in which:

pupils are highly motivated, well behaved and show genuine concern for each other;
parents are fully committed to the values of the school and are unfailingly supportive;
our dedicated teaching and support staff have high aspirations for all pupils; and
we have well developed links with the Scarborough Parishes and our priests are fully engaged in the life of the school.
