St Paul’s Way Trust School is seeking to appoint an exceptional ‘Head of School’ to lead the Primary Phase within our Outstanding All-Through School.

St Paul’s Way Trust Primary School provision (2FE) opened in September 2014 and has since moved into brand new purpose built accommodation. Our first cohort of Y6 students moved to St Paul’s Way Trust Secondary provision in Sep 2021.
