Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Federated since July 2016, Holt House Infant and Carterknowle Junior Schools are happy, caring and inclusive schools, committed to providing our children with the best quality education. Both are city schools, positioned next to one another in a wooded setting, with well-resourced and inspiring learning environments.
Our vision is to nurture a caring community in which every child is safe and learns well. We have high expectations and aspirations for all our children, creating warm and friendly learning atmosphere in which children display excellent attitudes and behaviour while achieving, through a rich and varied curriculum, the best possible education.

• share, celebrate and promote the inclusive ethos of our cohesive and inclusive community
• have previous leadership experience and be able to demonstrate the ability to lead whole school improvement
• maintain and continually develop the strong relationships we have with children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community
• promote the work of the school and work strategically alongside colleagues and governors
What the school offers its staff
We can offer the successful candidate:
• an opportunity to work with our Executive Headteacher, implementing your ideas while receiving professional support and advice from an experienced school leader
• a highly engaged and supportive community of parents and carers who shareour ambitions to secure the very best outcomes for their children
• the governors’ commitment to your ongoing professional development
Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people; we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to disclose any cautions or convictions prior to interview. The amendments to the ROA Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020) provide that certain convictions and cautions are 'protected' and are therefore not subject to disclosure to employers. The successful candidate will complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and a Children’s Barred List check.
