• an inspiring leader for our team of staff
• able to manage, motivate and support an exceptional workforce, whilst maintaining high morale and well-being
• able to work and communicate effectively with other schools in the local community
• willing to uphold the Christian ethos of the federation.

We can offer:

• two successful 'Good' schools, with excellent standards of behaviour and enthusiastic, motivated children
• an experienced, enthusiastic and high quality team of staff who collaborate, support and lead across the federation of schools
• a supportive federated governing body, parents and local community, who work together for the best interests of both schools
• an inclusive learning environment, where children are fully engaged by their curricular experiences
• schools that are located in Suffolk, offering a Headteacher an excellent quality of life.
