Headteacher

Can you inspire and motivate a school community?

Are you committed to personalised learning and developing cross curricular, creative approaches?

Can you lead change?

If the answer to these questions is yes, we would love to hear from you.

Prettygate Infant and Junior Schools seeks to appoint a highly motivated Headteacher to lead our enthusiastic and committed team. The Infant and Junior Schools are located on the same site and in 2017 came together under one Federated Governing Body and one Headteacher. With our current Headteacher retiring, we now have an exciting opportunity to build upon the excellent work which has started in providing seamless high quality learning experiences for all our children aged 4 -11.

We can offer you:

• well behaved, motivated and enthusiastic children (NOR Infants 180, Juniors 256)
• supportive, skilled and innovative staff who put the children at the heart of everything they do
• strong and supportive governing body
• strong and supportive wider school community
• competitive salary (LS21-24).

Prettygate Infant and Junior Schools are set in an enviable location amidst extensive and attractive grounds close to Colchester town centre.

The successful applicant will be committed to working with Governors to strengthen the strategic vision of the Federation, leading both schools from a Good to Outstanding Ofsted rating.

Visits to the schools are warmly welcomed. Members of the Governing Body will be available to show prospective candidates around our school on Monday 2nd July between 10.30am and 12.30pm. Please book an appointment with the Clerk to the Federated Governing Body via the school office. If this date is inconvenient for you she will be happy to arrange an alternative date and time to suit.

Applications will only be accepted online at www.essexschoolsjobs.co.uk.
