Head Teacher

Due to the retirement of our long-serving Head Teacher in July 2017, the Academy Trust, staff and children are looking for an inspirational and caring Head Teacher to continue our journey from good to great. We are looking for an experienced leader who will embrace our strengths, building on these as we face the challenges of the future. A committed and practising Catholic, you will place the child at the heart of everything we do, as we continue our mission of learning, growing and living with Jesus.

St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery is a growing school, with expansion to three form entry from Reception to Year 6 due to complete in September 2018. Years 2, 3 and 6 are already enjoying their carefully considered brand new classrooms. Our new Head Teacher will have the opportunity to further develop a strong, capable, dedicated and caring team, working collaboratively within our newly formed multi academy trust: The St Peter Catholic Academy Trust. The scene is set for an exciting future!
