Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Our new Headteacher will have a key role to play within and beyond the school, being visible and accessible to colleagues within the academy, across the Trust, and to parents and carers. You’ll build on the achievements of recent years, harnessing our sense of common purpose and setting a course to be exceptional across the board. We’re looking for you to bring strong, positive and clear leadership, with a sustained emphasis on continuous improvement and establishing a culture of excellence as standard.
This is an excellent opportunity for a dynamic, committed and positive Headteacher to lead a strong and skilled staff team who provide a deeply child-focused and rounded education. Key to your success will be an inspiring and collaborative leadership style, with excellent communication skills and the ability to build a strong collective vision. You must have a track record of inclusive leadership which has resulted in sustained achievement, and will understand the importance of building supportive and flexible teams. We’re looking for someone who can exemplify high standards in every area; but since we believe that outstanding teaching and learning underpin the highest quality education, a strength in this aspect would be a definite asset.
What the school offers its staff

If you bring a strong mix of professional excellence and personal commitment to the very best outcomes of children – and you want to bring your talent to a trust that shares and lives these values – it’s an opportunity not to be missed.
