Headteacher

After 14 years, our Headteacher is moving on to fresh challenges and therefore The Governing Body is seeking to employ an exceptional leader who will build on our current good practice to take our recently expanded junior school through the next stages of its development.

Our new headteacher will be an outstanding communicator, committed to raising standards and pupil attainment, whilst maintaining our nurturing, family friendly environment where children feel happy and safe, grow in confidence and find their individual strengths.

You will be a proven leader, with excellent qualifications and a successful track record of implementing school improvements and impactful change, with personal qualities that will inspire and motivate our supportive and creative teaching staff.

We can offer you a friendly junior school with a positive atmosphere and caring Christian school ethos, the support of our dedicated governing body and dynamic Diocese, a forward thinking and hard-working staff team, and confident, well behaved pupils who are motivated to learn.

St John’s is ideally situated with excellent transport links, close to the towns of Kingston and Teddington, in a tranquil location near to the river Thames, Hampton Court Palace and Bushy Park.
