Head Teacher

Bishop Ridley is a very popular school with hard working, dedicated and enthusiastic teaching and support staff.

Due to the impending retirement of the present Head Teacher after 18 years with the school, there is an opportunity for an experienced, enthusiastic, caring and committed Head Teacher to join this very successful Christian School.

We can offer the successful candidate:

• Hardworking and professional staff
• Experienced and motivated senior leadership team
• Committed and encouraging Governors
• Enthusiastic and conscientious pupils
• Supportive and appreciative parents
• Strong and constructive links with Bishop Ridley Church and the Diocese

We had our last Ofsted inspection in March 2014 and were again graded as ‘Good’, as was our SIAS inspection grade as a church school. Our SATs results have been consistently good, the progress made by pupils is very good and attendance is high. Ofsted reported that 'the quality of teaching and pupils' achievement are consistently good. There is a strong learning community of which pupils, and parents and carers, are proud.'
