Head Teacher

Dear Potential Head Teacher of Fair Oak Junior School,

It is a privilege to be Chair of Governors at such an exciting time for our school. Fair Oak Junior School is a large, five form entry school located close to the cities of Winchester and Southampton. Our recent OFSTED Inspection in July 2019 confirmed that the school continues to be Good, and well on the way to becoming Outstanding. Our vacancy arises as our well respected Head Teacher is relocating with his family to another part of the country.

The Governing Body wishes to appoint someone who is a strategic leader with a clear vision of excellence and who will work with staff, pupils, parents and Governors to take us further along the journey to being an Outstanding school.

We can offer:

• A positive and supportive environment where your career development will be championed
• A dedicated, stable and talented team of staff with supportive parents and Governors who are enthusiastic about helping the school continue to grow
• Inquisitive, vibrant and well-behaved children who love to learn
• A school that is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of everyone in our Fair Oak Family

We seek...

• The vision, energy, leadership and creativity to drive innovation whilst building on existing practices that are working incredibly effectively
• An uncompromising commitment to ensure outstanding teaching for every child
• A rigorous approach to identifying gaps in learning and accelerating progress
• A positive, can-do attitude where challenges are seen as opportunities

We are a family, so if you would like to see what the different parts of the family require of their next Head Teacher, click here.

If this sounds like you then we want to hear from you.
