What skills and experience we're looking for
This is a fantastic opportunity for an inspirational Headteacher to lead a small, Derbyshire primary school which is at the heart of its community in Arkwright Town. Pupils are polite, well behaved and eager to learn. In June 2025, the school was inspected by Ofsted who judged it to be good in all areas: ‘Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending this warm and welcoming school. Leaders, including those responsible for governance have guided the school skilfully through a time of rapid change.'
We are looking for someone who will sustain this positive and visible culture of success. You will have the leadership qualities to inspire and encourage staff and pupils to achieve their very best and have an innovative, inclusive approach to leadership. Alongside this, you will have a passion for creating a rich curriculum and environment where children develop a love of learning. As an experienced school leader with a proven track record of delivering the highest standards, you will lead Arkwright Primary School through the next stage of its ongoing journey of school improvement.

The Trust also leads the regional Teaching School Hub, delivering local teacher training and the National Professional Qualifications for teachers.
