Headteacher

Are you ready to build on success?

Richard Whittington Primary School is seeking to appoint an existing or aspiring leader who is passionate about ensuring all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Following four successful years of development, where the school has significantly improved educational outcomes and internal organisation, our Headteacher is moving on to his next challenge. The school is looking for a new Headteacher to lead it in the next stage of its journey to becoming an outstanding school, not just in the eyes of Ofsted, but just as importantly in the eyes of pupils, parents and the community.

Our new Headteacher will be someone who:

• Has a genuine belief that all children can succeed, and who will drive a culture where this is the foremost priority
• Will develop the school without losing focus on the everyday quality of teaching and learning outcomes
• Can demonstrate their ability to motivate and inspire a strong team of staff
• Can build strong relationships within the school, with parents and with the wider community

For the right candidate, the school offers:

• The opportunity to build on the strong base which has been created
• A school that is improving, with an Ofsted rating of Good in 2016 and solid progression since the last inspection
• A strong team of staff who are passionate and committed to ensuring all children achieve the best they can
• A supportive school community which wants to support the new Headteacher to succeed
• Opportunities for CPD
