St. Gregory’s is proud to be one of the highest performing schools in both Warrington and the Liverpool Archdiocese area and as such we are oversubscribed with a waiting list to join our school community.

Our Ofsted report noted “Pupils at St Gregory’s are happy, confident and welcoming to visitors. They like each other. There is a strong sense of community across the school. This reflects the school vision, ‘One family inspired to learn’. One pupil said: ‘We are cared about as individuals but, because everyone cares, that makes us all one.”

About you

You will provide assistance and support in classroom management, behaviour techniques and provide specialist support in a specific curricular/resource area depending on your areas of experience.
