St Mary and St Peter Catholic Primary School and St Mary’s Catholic Primary School are two vibrant Roman Catholic Primary Schools situated in Gorleston and Lowestoft respectively on the east coast of Norfolk and Suffolk.

The Directors and LGB are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, ethos driven and capable senior leader to take the helm of our happy and community centred schools. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of success as a senior leader and will commit themselves to further improving Teaching and Learning within both schools.
