Headteacher

Whitehill Primary School is a serially “Good” school in what has been an historically challenging context. The current Headteacher is moving to the Headship of Gravesend Grammar School, a different post within the Trust, and we are looking to appoint someone with experience and the personal qualities to lead the school on the next part of our journey to become “Outstanding”. Over the last three years, following a period of turbulence, the school has been transformed under the leadership of the current Head and with the commitment of the staff, and is now ready to take the next steps.

The school needs someone who can

· lead by example with enthusiasm and creativity

· provide visionary leadership and who has the determination to ensure that our pupils are given the best possible educational opportunities 

· drive progress and achievement for all children and staff and empower them to fulfil their potential

· skilfully monitor and evaluate standards of attainment, learning and teaching and is able to create clear and imaginative action plans to ensure that all children reach their highest potential

· embrace the opportunities and challenges of an inclusive school setting

· be an effective communicator with staff, parents/carers and the wider community and who will get involved in building stronger relationships both within the school and the wider community

· They will be totally committed to child protection and will have a broad based and thorough understanding of child protection issues in the widest sense.
