Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Head of Humanities Faculty
Required for January 2026
MPS / UPS + TLR 1a (£12,519)
St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School & Sixth Form is seeking to appoint an outstanding Head of Humanities from January 2026.
We are seeking someone who has a desire to instil in our wonderful students a love of humanities and help form them as young people. We only want somebody driven by a sense of mission and vocation to help children see the world differently.
St Thomas Aquinas is a large and thriving Catholic comprehensive school in the south of Birmingham. It is undoubtably a vibrant community where staff and students from all faiths live out the school mission. Examination results are excellent and place us in the top group of schools nationally at GCSE and post-16 due to our knowledge-rich approach. The Catholic Schools Inspectorate judged the school to be ‘Outstanding’ in all areas and the school has recently been through a very successful Ofsted inspection. As a result, we are an oversubscribed school and becoming more and more popular with families.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the right candidate to build something special and make a huge contribution in a major Catholic comprehensive school. There will also be scope to work with great colleagues, grow professionally and, if desired, advanceyour own career towards senior leadership.
We will be flexible for the right person in terms of working arrangements, pay and responsibilities if necessary. Knowledgeable and talented leaders - determined to make a sustained impact – are actively encouraged to contact and informally visit the school.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check is required for all successful candidates.
