Catering assistant

Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School is a vibrant, thriving and

leading school in the local area. (1333 on roll with a Sixth Form of 173)

and our long history and excellent community links provide our students with

exceptional opportunities.

We are extremely proud of our 2026 Ofsted inspection, which

highlights Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School as an inclusive and respectful

community where pupils feel safe, valued and supported to succeed. Inspectors

described the school as “an incredibly welcoming place where all pupils feel

valued” and praised the “calm and respectful environment,” noting that pupils

are “enthusiastic participants in lessons and school life,” benefiting from

high expectations rooted in our values of respect, believe and achieve. The

report also recognises the quality of teaching, stating that “teachers have a

clear understanding of the skills and knowledge that pupils need” and that

“staff use their subject knowledge well to adapt tasks so that all pupils… can

participate in lessons.”

Inspectors highlighted our strong commitment to inclusion,

noting that leaders have created “a highly inclusive culture where pupils are

well known, cared for and supported,” alongside a well‑planned

curriculum and a broad personal development programme that prepares pupils for

life beyond school. Leadership was commended for maintaining strong standards

in behaviour and attendance and for driving improvement, while our Catholic

ethos continues to underpin the strong sense of community identified in both this

inspection and our 2023 CSI report, which described the school’s valued “sense

of family.”

We wish to appoint a Catering Assistant who

isa hard-working and committed person with drive, enthusiasm and

inspiration who will make a valuable contribution to the school, the pupils and

their achievements.
