About the Organisation

St Hilda's is unique. St Hilda’s is a family. We are the only co-educational Church of England school in Liverpool in key stages 3 and 4. We welcome students and their family from a Christian background, from other faiths and those who have no faith. Each individual is precious.
Although our reputation in the community is excellent, this does not mean that we do not look for opportunities to improve who we are and what we do. We live by our values and are educating for 'wisdom, hope, community, dignity, equality and diversity'. Students helped to choose our 6th value of diversity. We changed to a house system to promote a sense of belonging in each of our students and members of staff. Our smaller House families come together to form the larger St Hilda’s family. 
We chose our 6 Houses very carefully. Each one of these inspirational people embody our values and have helped to shape Liverpool. We speak in more detail about Margaret Aspinall, Gee Walker, 
Kitty Wilkinson, John Brodie, William Roscoe and Levi Tafari on our website.
We believe in student voice, in student leadership and in high expectations. Our behaviour systems focus on a Chance to Change and we work hard in ensuring we support our students in making the right decisions, ready to take their place in our society. In 2025, Our SIAMS inspection found that 
St Hilda’s Church of England High School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling students and adults to flourish. The report highlighted "St Hilda’s biblically rooted Christian vision is the cornerstone and lifeblood of this school family. It is strongly proclaimed and confidently embraced, sustaining and nourishing the school’s work and mission. Along with its compelling Christian values, the vision drives this exceptional school. Diversity and difference are embraced, giving dignity and allowing this community to live well together. Students are highly respectful and supportive, enabling them to appreciate and support one another to be who they are." We are unashamedly a Christian school. Our most recent Ofsted report graded us as Good in 2021.

We are heavily oversubscribed, but this does not mean that we do not recognise that we can become even better. We are looking for someone who will join the St Hilda's family in the key position of 
Cleaner who champions all of our students, challenges where necessary and celebrates at every opportunity. You will support and develop the people in your team, ensuring all opportunities are taken to lead and share excellent practice. Your vision to support St Hilda's to the next level is paramount.
Academically, St Hilda's intake is above national average. However, our aspiration is that every single one of our students achieves or exceeds their potential, has exceptional pastoral support and has a wealth of opportunities to support their development. In this role, we are looking for a very special person with the vision and experience to help our vision become a reality. Is this you?
