Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

Nanpean Primary School is a very popular school, where children come together to create a fun thriving environment. The village community is at the heart of the school and we have an excellent relationship with community organisations that present fantastic opportunities for our children. The new headteacher must be willing to embrace this as the school is important to the whole village community.

What the school offers its staff

Our School is located in the “Clays Area” near to St. Austell on the South Coast of Cornwall. The school caters for children between the ages of 4 – 11. We put the children at the centre of what we do at Nanpean by aiming to instil in our children a love of learning and develop a ‘can do’ approach that enables them to grow ambition. Our children develop an understanding of themselves as individuals, with their own talents and characters, as well as value the people and world around them. We are committed to preparing our children for the next stage on their journey so that they are able to grasp all opportunities in their future. Nanpean joined the highly successful Truro and Penwith Academy Trust (TPAT) in February 2023. Our school enjoys working collaboratively both locally but also with our partner schools within the Trust. We are part of the “East Cluster” with St Dennis and Roche schools our closest neighbouring Trust schools.
