The Board of Directors of the Romero Catholic Academy Trust, in partnership with The Governors of All Saints’ RC High School, are delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for a Teacher of English  to join our successful and thriving department.

All Saints’ RC High School is a thriving, faith-filled community where Gospel values are lived out daily through the school’s motto: “Let your light shine.” As recognised in the 2025 Catholic Schools Inspectorate report, the school provides a “strong sense of community and inclusive welcome” rooted in exceptional pastoral care and a deep commitment to every child, especially the most vulnerable. Staff and students alike speak of belonging to a family where each individual is “known, valued, and loved.” The school serves the Catholic community within the Rossendale Valley and has strong partnerships with its seven Catholic feeder primary schools.

English lies at the heart of school life, with a curriculum that is ambitious, engaging and designed to develop pupils as confident readers, writers and speakers. Students enjoy their English lessons, valuing opportunities to explore a wide range of texts, express their ideas clearly, and make meaningful connections between literature, language and the world around them. Students are taught in mixed-ability groups from Year 7, reflecting the school’s inclusive ethos and commitment to ensuring that every child can thrive. The English department continues to refine and strengthen its curriculum, offering a rich and carefully sequenced programme that develops literacy, creativity and critical thinking.

A love of reading, language and communication is actively promoted throughout the school year, with opportunities for pupils to engage in enrichment activities that celebrate literature, oracy and writing. The school has entered an exciting new chapter with its move into a purpose-built building designed to enrich teaching and learning across all subjects. For a Teacher of English, All Saints’ offers the opportunity to be part of a dedicated and collaborative team within a joyful, values-led community that nurtures pupils to flourish academically, personally and socially.

If you are an inspirational teacher who is motivated by faith, driven by excellence and committed to nurturing the potential of every young person, we would be delighted to hear from you. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a real difference — to be part of a school that is flourishing, ambitious, and ready for the future.

Both ECTs and experienced teachers are encouraged to apply. We offer an excellent ECT Induction Programme as well as excellent professional development opportunities.

If you feel you have the right skills and attributes we are looking for, then we will be delighted to hear from you. Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and can be arranged by contacting the school office on 01706 213693 or office@allsaintshigh.lancs.sch.uk.
