Headteacher

The governors of Ysgol Pen Coch would like to appoint a Headteacher for January 2019.

 Ysgol Pen Coch is categorised as green school and leads on a number of local and national projects for GwE (the fully bilingual School Effectiveness and Improvement Service for North Wales) and the Welsh Government.

The school, built in 2009, stands in an elevated position overlooking the town of Flint and has breathtaking views over the Dee Estuary and towards the Wirral. It is within easy reach of Chester and the North Wales coast.

It has excellent facilities and is able to provide education for pupils aged between 2 and 11. The number of children currently on roll is 97.

 It aims to enable all pupils to be in the right frame of mind to learn, providing excellent therapeutic and learning opportunities for all pupils. On Estyn’s Best Practice webpage it is written that “Ysgol Pen Coch use a range of interventions including a virtual reality room that have had a significant impact on pupils’ wellbeing, engagement and readiness to learn.”

Ysgol Pen Coch has committed teachers and support staff who expect the high levels of commitment and professionalism from its leaders. Estyn also wrote recently that “Staff at all levels of Ysgol Pen Coch have developed a self-evaluative approach that has had a significant impact on the work of the school”. In 2017 Estyn judged the school as having excellent prospects for improvement.

If you have the experience, commitment and drive to take on and further develop Ysgol Pen Coch then this could be the right post for you.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a committed professional and senior leader. It will require strength, leadership, commitment and loyalty.

In return for your commitment, energy and expertise you will work with a great team, wonderful children and a fully supportive local authority and management committee. Flintshire county council is a very inclusive local authority committed to providing the best quality provision for vulnerable learners with severe/complex needs.
