Headteacher

Raine’s Foundation School is seeking to appoint a dynamic Headteacher to build on its strong heritage and lead this Church of England Secondary School into an exciting new chapter in its history.

Our new Headteacher will have the drive, vision and stamina combined with the management skills to lead their staff team to:
