This is not just another teaching job.

We are a school where people matter, where staff are genuinely cared for, and where children are known, valued and loved. In a competitive Gloucestershire job market, our school stands out because our values are lived every day — not just written down.

Relationships Matter

At The Catholic School of Saint Gregory the Great, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of great learning and wellbeing. We are a trauma-informed school, which means we take time to understand the needs of our children, recognise the impact of experiences on behaviour and learning, and respond with care, consistency and compassion.

Our approach ensures that children feel safe, supported and ready to learn, and that staff are equipped to meet pupils where they are.

Why choose our school?

• A leadership team that actively champions and invests in staff
• A bespoke staff wellbeing offer, prioritising balance, care and sustainability
