Head of School

Do you want to be Ordinary?

Do you want to be a leader in a “Run of the mill” school?

If so, read no further

Carrwood Primary can never be said to be a “run-of-the-mill” school and nor would we want it to be either. Carrwood Primary School is a two form entry Primary School, with a DSP and Behaviour Centre. It is bustling and vibrant and situated at the heart of its community. Carrwood Primary School is facing lots of challenges - all of which can be met with the right leadership. OFSTED judged the school to be requiring improve in late 2016 and the work that has been done so far has rapidly impacted on the school’s improvement journey. The Governors now wish to appoint a second key leader who can skilfully maintain and accelerate the momentum of improvement and development. Our children deserve a good education in a good school.
