What skills and experience we're looking for

- will lead with integrity, courage and compassion; someone who can inspire excellence in teaching and learning, strengthen inclusive practice, and help shape a school culture where ambition, hope and flourishing sit at the heart of daily life. Grounded in our Christian vision and unafraid of challenge, you will play a key role in driving sustained improvement and ensuring every child is enabled to “live life in all its fullness.”
- is an inspiring and reflective leader with a strong moral purpose and high aspirations for all. You will be an excellent classroom practitioner with a clear understanding of effective teaching and learning across the whole Primary Age Range, and the ability to lead and support others to improve practice. You will be resilient, compassionate and solutions-focused, with the confidence to work in a challenging context and the humility to learn alongside others. A commitment to the distinctive Christian character of our school and to inclusive, child-centred leadership is essential.
What the school offers its staff
You will be joining a warm, ambitious school community where children are a joy to teach, staff work hard for one another, and parents are supportive and engaged. You will benefit from the backing of a forward-thinking Trust that invests in professional development, values collaboration and supports courageous leadership.
We also offer:
• Physical and mental health support from a team of experienced nurses, counsellors, therapists, physiotherapists, consultants plus NHS GPs and private medical services
• GP consultations with experienced NHS doctors are available for our employees and members of their household, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and prescriptions (which have to be paid for) can be delivered to local chemists
• Free annual flu jab
• Trained Mental Health First Aiders in all our settings
• A paid annual Wellbeing Day – a time for you to use the day for an activity which promotes your own individual health and wellbeing
