  • Be a strategic thinker who will work alongside the Headteacher to provide challenge and support in order to implement positive change.
  • Be good humoured, innovative, enthusiastic, energetic, self-motivated and thrive on responsibility.

In return we offer:

  • A friendly and welcoming environment where pupils care about one another and are enthusiastic learners.
  • A forward thinking senior leadership team and dedicated staff who are passionate about providing high quality learning & life experiences for every child at Baginton.
  • Continuous Professional Development within a supportive team.
  • An exciting opportunity to develop the school in response to national and local policy.
  • The opportunity to work with a range of professionals and in wider partnerships.
  • The full support of an experienced Governing Board who advocate strongly on behalf of the school community.
