Headteacher

The Governors of Newlands Primary School wish to appoint an experienced, motivated and inspirational leader, who has had experience of headship in an improving school. Who will continue to build upon our achievements and embrace the challenges of the future.

Newlands is at an exciting time in its development, having recently moved to a new, larger school site as part of a refurbishment and expansion plan. The school’s intention is to grow to become a two form entry in the future.

We are committed to providing a nurturing, safe and vibrant environment that adopts a love of learning and enables every student to become the best they can be. We are here to help our students learn the skills they need to become successful, motivated and resilient young adults who, as a result, are fully equipped to move on with their educational journey. 

Respectful and supportive relationships are at the heart of all that we do; we value every member of the school community equally.

We are looking for a Head Teacher who:

• Is a strong, dynamic, experienced Head teacher who will endorse the changes and challenges the school has.

• Is passionate about teaching and learning – believing in the potential of every child and putting their well-being and development at the heart of every decision.

• Understands the importance of an aspirational and challenging curriculum in improving outcomes for pupils.

• Recognises the progress and achievements that the school has already made but is not afraid of being innovative and creative in developing a clear vision.

• Has a strong commitment to the principles of inclusion, equality of opportunity & diversity.

• Demonstrates care for the spiritual, moral, social & cultural development & wellbeing of pupils.

• Is approachable and engaging.

Our school can offer you:

• A warm welcome from happy, polite, well behaved pupils.

• A loyal and hardworking team of staff.

• A committed, proactive and supportive Governing Body.

• A supportive local family of schools and strong links with Thomas Estley Learning Alliance.

• A commitment to your professional development and personal well-being.

If you believe that you are the Headteacher that Newlands needs to drive the school forward and ensure that every child receives the quality education they deserve, we would love to hear from you.
