The Governors of St Paul's Primary, Hammersmith are seeking to form a partnership with another school and share an Executive Headteacher from September 2023.  We would love to hear from you if you are a current Headteacher looking to explore such an arrangement, or if you are a current Executive Headteacher and would like to expand your number of schools.

St Paul's is a one-form entry primary with strong relational links to St Paul's Church Hammersmith.  Our school is located 5 minutes' walk from Hammersmith station, benefitting from both the tranquillity of the Thames and the buzz of central London. 

We are proud of our school's reputation for inclusivity and kindness. Our Christian ethos and values are fundamental, informing everything from our relationships to the curriculum. 

We are looking for an exceptional leader ready to take the next step in their career, someone who shares our values and our ambitions for our pupils and the wider community. 

You will be a skilled communicator, able to form effective relationships with both internal and external stakeholders and to make the most of the opportunities offered by such a partnership.
