Job overview

Whether you are an experienced headteacher relishing a new challenge or a leader working towards your first headship you may be just what we are looking for!

We are seeking an individual who will undertake effective performance management of staff in their delivery of the curriculum whilst supporting and challenging our children to ensure that they make excellent progress in all areas of learning.

We are a smaller than average sized primary school with a relatively high proportion of disadvantaged children accessing the pupil premium. Upholding Christian values, Elland CE School represents a welcoming community that seeks to be a safe and happy place in which to learn and to work: the successful candidate must embrace and celebrate the special relationship conferred by our church school status.

The most recent Ofsted report in November 2017, whilst noting that ‘the provision in the early years gets the children off to a good start and prepares them well for key stage 1’, judged the school overall as ‘requires improvement’. Governors acknowledge that they ‘need to strengthen leadership and management and improve the quality of teaching’, and clearly, in this context it is imperative that the successful candidate has the skills and ability to focus on key performance indicators to raise attainment to (as a minimum) ‘good’.

We are, therefore, looking for a visionary and inspirational leader who:

  • has a successful track record in school leadership
  • will identify and promote innovative teaching practices to maximise pupil outcomes
  • demonstrates ability to translate enthusiasm into positive team dynamics and culture
  • is an accomplished networker who is open to learning from the experience of other schools

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. DBS checks are required for all relevant posts.

We believe this represents an excellent opportunity for the right person to make an outstanding contribution to shaping the future direction of our school and would strongly encourage interested parties to contact Lisa Haigh, Business Manager either by telephone (01422 373159) or email (admin@elland.calderdale.sch.uk) to make an appointment to visit us to gain further insight into the role and our school.
