About the School

 

All Saints is a 2-form entry primary, we are a highly inclusive school underpinned by exceptional levels of dedication and strong team spirit.

 

The school is very much at the heart of the Parish Community of St. James’ Bootle and was judged to be Outstanding in all nine areas by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate in March 2025.  

 

Staff and Governors are forward-looking and open to new ideas. This post offers a fantastic opportunity to join our dedicated and highly supportive staff team

 

All Saints is set in a state-of-the-art building, extremely well-resourced, indoors and outdoors.

 

We are a designated Nature-Friendly school, with Forest School being well-established throughout.

 

Personal development, behaviour and welfare were judged to be outstanding at the last inspection.

 

The school employs its own Educational Psychologist, Counsellor and Speech Therapist, to support and enhance classroom practice on a day-to-day basis.

 

Governors ensure the professional development of staff is a high priority and they make a similar commitment to the successful candidate.

 

Culturally rich, we are the most diverse primary school in Sefton and are proud to welcome children from all over the world.

 

As the first Sefton school to receive School of Sanctuary accreditation, we seek to create a "home from home" for every child in our school.

• Are outstanding classroom practitioners, keen to share their expertise, to coach, mentor and challenge staff, in order to ensure the best possible outcomes for all of our children.
• Have experience of teaching in more than one school.
