What skills and experience we're looking for
Our new Executive Headteacher of Coit and Ecclesfield Primary Schools should be a strong and focused leader who can build effective working relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. They will lead with confidence and purpose, drive forward our inclusive culture, and maintain the nurturing, safe and secure environment that makes our schools the fantastic schools they are.We are determined to give every single child the opportunity to develop their full potential. We do this by ensuring the children are immersed in an intelligent, stimulating and broad curriculum which is delivered within a nurturing environment.We want our children to become resilient, collaborative and confident so that they are comfortable with accepting challenges which become progressively more demanding as they move through school. Well-being is the key to happiness and so we supply our children with a wide range of opportunities and memorable experiences.A positive and supportive working partnership with parents is essential if children are to achieve their academic potential. Thus, parents are very much encouraged to visit as often as possible, formally and informally, so they can see for themselves what we do.We are looking for that outstanding person who will embrace our values whole-heartedly and drive the schools forward with passion and interest.The person specification provides a more comprehensive list of the qualities we are looking for, but in essence we wish to appoint somebody with the wisdom, experience and confidence to take the school forward; someone who builds on what is currently excellent and ensures we continue to improve by embracing the opportunities and challenges that are offered in the future.
