United by a shared vision, we are a bold voice for Bristol - committed to building belief in every young person, expanding opportunities, nurturing potential, and strengthening citizenship.

We are ambitious, reflective, and collaborative - driven to improve outcomes for young people while working together, learning from one another and continually strengthening our practice. If you are looking to make a real difference within a forward-thinking and supportive Trust, Amplify Education could be the place for you.

We invite you to join our team at St Katherine’s School. St Katherine’s is an oversubscribed and successful school with a strong sense of community. We are a community school without a faith designation and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, beliefs, and religions. Diversity and inclusivity are at the heart of the St Katherine’s community.

We are St Katherine’s — a nurturing and inclusive community, united in the pursuit of excellence.

The school was judged to be meeting the expected standard across all areas by Ofsted in March 2026. Inspectors recognised that:

• Inclusion is central to the school's ethos
• Leaders place inclusion at the heart of the school's work.
• SEND identification is strong
• Needs are identified promptly and accurately.
• Staff receive training and guidance to remove barriers to learning.
• Ambitious curriculum for all

• Strong oversight
• Leaders monitor support carefully and evaluate whether interventions remain appropriate.
• Belonging and relationships
• Pupils feel known, supported and included.
• Strong pastoral and academic support helps pupils engage successfully.

We are located in a beautiful rural setting on the edge of Bristol. Our thriving, diverse community is founded on our core values of respect, responsibility and resilience; we actively encourage everyone within our community to ‘live and breathe’ our values every day. The school aims to create an environment where all students feel confident, secure and valued to help them perform at their best.

Our ambition is to achieve an average grade of 5.5 and 0.35+ VA in our sixth form: our work is focused on creating the conditions where every student, regardless of context, can achieve success.

We are committed to continuous professional learning and offer both internal and external leadership training including the NPQML and NPQSL programmes, leader profiling and shadowing opportunities. Coaching is embedded within our school to support and develop teaching alongside leadership and career progression for all staff. In addition, we actively promote opportunities for Trust wide working and collaboration across the trust is integral to our development.
