Head of School

The Trustees, Local Governing Body, staff and pupils at Roselands Primary School are seeking to appoint a Head of School to work closely with the Executive Headteacher and existing leadership team to promote high quality teaching and learning within a co-operative learning environment.

Our current Headteacher is moving on to new challenges so we are looking for a Head of School with clear vision and high standards to take us on the next step of our journey. Our enthusiastic and talented staff team are committed to providing the best possible learning outcomes for every pupil in our care.

Roselands Primary School is situated on the outskirts of Paignton, in good quality buildings with large grounds and great views over the countryside to the Torbay coastline. Behaviour in our school is excellent and our children, who are happy and enthusiastic learners, relish the challenge that each new day brings.

As part of Riviera Primary Academy Trust, our dedicated and professional staff benefit from high quality CPD, enhanced by our Trust’s teaching school, the ‘Torbay Teaching School Alliance’. We enjoy close links with many other local primary schools, and we believe that collaboration is at the heart of our continued future success.

We are looking to appoint a candidate who:

• has high expectations and is aspirational for each child to reach their potential by supporting the provision of rich and varied opportunities
• is innovative, inspirational and able to motivate our staff and children ensuring they feel valued and supported
• can continue to build on our strong relationships with parents, local schools and the wider community
• can drive forward existing strategies and shape the future direction of the school
• has proven leadership, interpersonal and management skills

We seek leaders with vision who will embrace and build on our Trust’s ethos and values, are committed to raising standards, and have a commitment to inclusive teaching and learning. Leaders who will work with our professional and dedicated staff, our hardworking children and supportive parents. People who will take an active role both in and out of the classroom, and who will look beyond the boundaries of our schools to forge new opportunities for our pupils.

Above all, we are looking for someone who will love and nurture our wonderful school.

If this is you, we look forward to meeting you and receiving your application. Visits to the school are positively encouraged. Please contact Kay Cottee on 01803 525375 for further information and an application pack.
