Headteacher

Brannel School is offering a fantastic opportunity for an experienced senior leader looking for a Headship where drive, resilience and the ability to inspire others will be key qualities.

We can count on the fingers of one hand what we want our new Headteacher to do:

1. Articulate a clear vision

2. Effectively manage change

3. Build a high performing culture

4. Inspire others

5. Lead by example

Set in a modern, state-of-the-art building within a culturally unique and vibrant rural community, Brannel School is striving to establish itself as one of the most improved schools in Cornwall.

If you can create and commit to a clear vision for the School and champion change from analysis to completion; if you can drive for excellence and set stretching targets; if you can challenge, inspire and motivate those around you to achieve; and if you can demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities, we can give you the opportunity to deliver.

The successful candidate will have the energy, charisma and educational philosophy to drive up standards and develop close and genuine relationships with staff, students and parents. 

The role will be challenging yet immensely rewarding.  You will be supported by experienced Trust and School leadership teams and a committed staff with a strong shared moral purpose.  This is a rare opportunity to transform educational provision for this community.
