THIS OPPORTUNITY
Belmore Primary Academy is one of the highest performing primary schools in Hillingdon.
We are a 3-form entry school looking to recruit a dynamic Head who is ambitious, nurturing and motivated. Belmore has gathered upward momentum over the last few years and performed exceptionally well across all Key Stages. This is thanks to the dedicated team of staff, to the diverse, hard-working group of children, to the unwavering support of the Middlesex Learning Partnership and to the legacy of the current Head, who leaves us in order to retire this year. There is a strong sense of purpose and belief that runs throughout Belmore and it is essential that the new Head embodies this spirit.
Closing the gap for disadvantaged children is an area in which Belmore excels. We have been officially named as a “School for Success” by the Mayor of London for the last four years in a row.
Our teaching and learning environment is one in which individuals are taught to demand the highest standard of achievement from themselves and those around them. This drive for excellence is underpinned by a culture of kindness, resilience, collaboration, accountability and inclusivity.
The successful candidate will have an appetite for innovation and be driven to lead the school in furthering academic achievement, as well as in cultivating the healthy relationships we share within our community.
The new Head of School - reporting to the MLP Executive Head/CEO - will take full responsibility and accountability for;
• School Development Planning
• Teaching and Learning
• Curriculum and Assessment
• Staff and Resource Allocation
• Behaviour and Attitudes
• Personal Development and Safeguarding of Pupils
Despite the challenges we face, Belmore has ambitions of becoming an Outstanding school. With this in mind it is critical that the new Head of School possess a strong vision for the future, as well as a proven ability to facilitate progress, to organise, to harmonise teams and to shine when meeting challenges with preparedness, adaptability and integrity.
