Senior Staff

MR TIM BEESLEY – Headteacher

To be updated

 Penny Mullen  – Acting Deputy Headteacher

My teaching career began in 1989. I have always worked in Greater Manchester schools and have been at St James’ for the past 8 years. Posts have included Assistant Head of Year, Head of Department, Head of Humanities, Manchester Metropolitan University professional mentor and for the last 6 years I have been Key Stage 3 coordinator.

 I am passionate about my job and the children I serve.

My aim is to maximise pupil achievement ensuring that children are ready to embrace the demands of this society in which we live.

Mrs Patrica Livesey – Assistant Headteacher (Key Stage 4)

 I have worked at St James' for 10 years after a long career break at home with my children. After a period of time as a supply teacher I was appointed as the teacher in charge of Learning for Living and ASDAN. These two subjects are at the very heart of what I believe education is about. The whole child has to be developed and every child is unique and different, made in the image of God and we as teachers have a duty to help each child develop to their full potential. Prior to my present temporary appointment I was Director of the Facuty of Personal Development and in charge of PSHE. My own two daughters have attended St James' and been very happy here, and I could strongly recommend this school to any parent.

Mrs Ruth Morgan - Acting Assistant Headteacher (Key Stage 3)

I have taught in schools in Stockport since 1992. I am committed to my faith and proud to be part of the St James' family since 2003. I am passionate about my role as an English teacher, inspiring pupils to be confident writers with a love of reading. I have held various positions of responsibility including co-ordinator for Gifted & Talented pupils, teacher in charge of Enrichment, Head of Year, Deputy Director of the PSHE Faculty and I have completed a year sharing the post of Assistant Head for key stage 4.  Since September 2010 I have been acting Assistant Head for Key Stage 3. I am committed to ensuring every person in the school community feels supported in their spiritual, personal and academic ability.

Dr Stephen Guscott - Assistant Headteacher Specialist Schools

Steve Guscott is a graduate of the University of Sheffield and started teaching in September 2001. He became teacher in charge of History in2002, and subsequently Head of Citizenship in 2003.
