The governors of the Federation of St Cuthbert’s and St Mary’s RC Primary Schools wish to appoint an inspirational leader with the values, knowledge and skills to lead our two lovely schools.

Following the imminent retirement of our Executive Headteacher this coming summer this is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop two strong schools which are situated in South Manchester. The schools are within easy travelling distance from each other and share many characteristics, such as our inclusive ethos, a close working relationship and similarity in both opportunity and challenges. Governors, children, staff, and parents are very proud of our two schools which are welcoming and happy places to grow and learn. We are committed to the belief that everyone is treated with fairness, justice, compassion and love, and ensure all pupils have the opportunity for a high-quality education in a spiritual environment.

A requirement of the post is that applicants must be practising Catholics.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A proven background of inspiring others through high quality leadership
• Proven expertise in securing a highly inclusive culture so that every child succeeds
• A passionate belief that every single child can achieve their full potential when they receive an excellent education
• Commitment to continual school improvement
• Commitment to close partnership with governors, our children, families and the wider community
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage dynamically and effectively with all stakeholders

There is an opportunity to visit the two schools. If you would like to visit prior to applying please contact Mrs Sharon Duffy at St Mary’s on 0161 445 6079 to arrange.

Visits to the schools: 12th December
