Headteacher

Our wonderful Headteacher is retiring and we need someone to lead our unique school family.

• If you want to be a part of a forward-thinking, successful school
  “You recognise that despite these successes, the school can still aim higher.” OFSTED 2018
• If you want to lead a group of enthusiastic children and dedicated staff
• If you can still be a child at heart…
  then please come visit us and see if this could be the job for you!

Kingsleigh Primary is a large school which has worked hard to build a strong reputation and is very much a part of the local community. The school is a thriving and fun place to work and learn and we would love to have the chance to show you around our fabulous facilities.

We are looking for a Headteacher who:

• Has experience of leadership across the primary phase. 
• Can motivate and encourage people to go the extra mile for the pupils and families of our school.
• Can facilitate and inspire the continuation of a vibrant, stimulating and memorable curriculum whilst continuing to maintain high expectations of achievement for all pupils. 
• Wants to continue to establish and build strong links beyond the school and in the local  community.
• Cares for and wants to nurture the development and well-being of children and staff in their school.

In return we can offer:

• A genuinely happy and friendly school with a true family feel - come and visit us if you think it sounds too good to be true!
• Devoted and flexible staff who are always willing to go the extra mile and give anything a go - we even turned a double decker bus into a reading den; that’s got to be worth checking out.
• Spirited, kind and eager children who love their school and work hard.
• A school that has been on a journey and is in a strong position with a firmly rooted foundation for someone to lead from.
• A brilliant part of the country to live in with glorious beaches a stone’s throw away in one direction and the New Forest in the other.
• A fun place to work where there really never is a dull moment-  have a look at our website and YouTube channel to see what we mean - www.kingsleighprimary.co.uk.
