St Aloysius’ College & s1jobs
St Aloysius’ College in Glasgow has opened applications for a new Principal, presenting an exciting career opportunity to guide the renowned institution into a promising new chapter and beyond.
Known for its strong academic reputation and deeply rooted Jesuit values, St Aloysius’ College stands as one of Scotland’s leading independent Catholic schools.
Michael Burrowes, Interim Head of the College, shared his insights on the ideal candidate, describing them as “an exceptional leader” with a passion for fostering both academic and personal growth.
“As Scotland's only Jesuit school, with more than 700 students, we hold a unique position in Catholic education,” he explained.
“Our new Principal will not only maintain our strong academic foundations but will embrace our mission of developing young people to serve the greater good.”
With a proud heritage that dates all the way back to 1859, St Aloysius’ is steeped in Catholic tradition, nurturing generations of students to be “men and women for others”.
Its Jesuit philosophy encourages young people to deepen their relationship with God and discover the confidence to achieve greatness – not only in academia but in their personal character and dedication to community service.
For parents who are seeking an inspiring and nurturing environment that emphasises moral values alongside exemplary intellectual achievement, St Aloysius’ College is renowned in Scotland and UK-wide as a beacon in learning.
Central to learning is the ethos of schools as “places where people are believed in, honoured and cared for; where individual contributions and accomplishments are appreciated; where everyone is treated fairly and justly; where each of us finds the challenge, encouragement and support we need to reach our fullest individual potential for excellence; where we help one another and work together with enthusiasm and generosity”.
In their role, the new Principal will work closely with a supportive Board of Governors to uphold the school’s mission and strengthen its position as a market leader in Catholic education.
The mission promises to be as rewarding as it is impactful. The successful applicant will guide a dedicated school and engage with students of all ages, from early childhood to high school, to instil values that will last their entire lifetime.
With the generous support of alumni and parent community deeply committed to the future of the College, the role also incorporates being a compelling ambassador for St Aloysius’.
While a substantial track record of successful senior management experience is vital, candidates should also be creative and innovative thinkers, able to identify and grasp opportunities – with a natural ability, warmth and gravitas to bring out the best in others.
“We look forward to welcoming a leader with the vision and collaborative spirit to inspire the entire school community,” said Mr Burrowes.
