Job overview

Lime Academy Watergall is an inclusive 2 form entry Primary School in Bretton, Peterborough. There are currently 360 children on roll from a wide range of backgrounds. Our children have high energy levels which is demonstrated through their enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning. Lime Academy Watergall prides itself in working closely with families to ensure that the children receive the best education available to them both at school and at home.

Lime Academy Watergall has recently converted from a maintained community school to an academy with the Lime Trust. The Trust and the Academy Council are working together to make sure we appoint excellent leaders to take Lime Academy Watergall from Requiring Improvement to Good or Outstanding.

Lime Trust is an expanding multi-academy trust, with schools in London and Peterborough. The ethos of Lime Trust is to put children first.

The curriculum we offer aims to prepare and develop children’s academic, social and emotional skills, in order that they will achieve their potential in life. ‘Aiming High, Including All’ is our school strap that we fully believe in and expect all children, parents, staff and Governors to adhere to.

The right candidate will be able to lead on Inclusion, SEND and Safeguarding across the school as well as coach individuals and talent-spot future leaders.
