What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for someone who can build on our strong foundations and continue to lead with compassion, clarity, and commitment. You’ll help us live out our values every day — putting Christ at the centre of all we do, celebrating each child’s uniqueness, and supporting our staff and families as one school family.
As our Headteacher, you will lead this vibrant and inclusive Catholic school, helping each child grow in faith, confidence, and a love of learning.
Lead with purpose and faith: You’ll provide strong and thoughtful leadership, grounded in Gospel values and the teachings of Jesus. Your vision will inspire children, staff, and the wider community to grow and thrive together.
• Make learning come alive: By ensuring high-quality teaching and a rich, carefully planned curriculum, you’ll help every child discover their potential and develop a real passion for learning.
• Keep our Catholic identity strong: You’ll guide our school’s spiritual life and make sure our faith is woven into every part of school life — from assemblies and RE lessons to the way we treat one another.
• Support and develop our team: Working closely with staff, governors, and families, you’ll create a positive, supportive environment where everyone feels valued and encouraged to give their best.
• Work in partnership: You’ll play a key role in our wider school family — including working with our parish, other schools in our CMAT, the Diocese, and local services — always looking for ways to share, learn and grow together
What the school offers its staff
At St Mary & St Michael’s, we are a happy, caring, and faith-filled school community where everyone is encouraged to shine.
What we can offer:
• Pupils who are enthusiastic, who enjoy taking responsibility and are excited about learning and school life.
• The opportunity to lead a well-established staff team
• A forward-thinking, experienced Governing Body who will encourage and support you as you lead the school in your own way.
• A wonderful physical learning environment, with the benefit of a large outdoor learning area.
• A PTA with a longstanding reputation of going above-and-beyond to provide opportunities for our pupils.
