What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a Headteacher who:
• Will ‘get stuck in’ to all of life at WNA: every day is going to bring both a new challenge and joyful interaction.
• Leads with empathy; a good listener who brings transparency and clarity in their people management style.
• Values the outdoors and will enthusiastically get involved in our Outdoor Learning Curriculum. This will require a level of fitness to actively model learning and play in nature.
• Has a passion for teaching and is willing to teach across the whole school on an ad hoc basis.
• Will lead curriculum development through conversation with the Deputy Headteacher and subject leads.
• Understands and closely manages the school’s finances and resources. Has strategic vision for our continued growth and excellence, for example, in the potential for WNA to become a recognised centre of excellence for Outdoor Learning education in the UK.
What the school offers its staff
We can offer you:
• A Single Academy Trust with autonomy to pave its own way in its educational values and mission.
• A single-form entry school, with a tangibly close-knit community.
• A dedicated staff body, with ~20 teaching and classroom support staff and ~10 facilities support staff.
• A supportive governing body who knows the school well.
• A recent OFSTED inspection of GOOD in all categories. (Nov 2024)
• Opportunity for professional development in the Reggio Emilia Approach.
Commitment to safeguarding
We are committed to protecting and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. This post is working in regulated activity. If you are successful, we will undertake additional recruitment checks which will include a check to see if you have had any criminal convictions, a check of police information and we will check the barred list(s). It is a criminal offence for a barred individual to apply for a job in regulated activity.
