Head Teacher

Due to the retirement of our highly regarded and well-loved Head Teacher, we are seeking to appoint an inspirational and dedicated Head Teacher capable of delivering educational excellence and committed to the needs of a highly popular multicultural school.

St Michael’s is a welcoming and inclusive Christian school serving a culturally diverse local community. Our Christian vision and values underpin our daily life within school.

As a Church of England Primary School we support those of the Christian faith, those with other faiths and those of no faith in order to experience ‘life in all its fullness’.

Our Mission Statement

At St Michael’s CEP our Christian foundations shine brightly for all to see, guiding us spiritually, morally, socially and intellectually to become confident, successful and aspirational throughout our lives.

Our children and staff demonstrate our motto of ‘Sharing, Caring and Learning Together’ as a family, mindful of our Creator, caring for, respecting and valuing each other within our school community, our country and around our world.

We are looking for a Head Teacher who will continue to lead a happy, successful and safe school and is committed to ensuring that: 

• Every child is cared for as an individual and nurtured to reach their personal potential.
• The importance of academic progress is accompanied by opportunities to develop social, creative and sporting skills.
• The strong links with our church and community are continued and further developed.
• The Christian ethos continues to flourish within the diverse community.
• Families are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education.
• All staff are respected, supported and appreciated.
• Our extensive range of after school and lunchtime clubs are continued

We, the children, staff and governing body offer you the opportunity to: 

• Lead a school that strives for academic excellence and provides an exciting and enriching experience for all our children. 
• Work alongside a dedicated and loyal staff team.  
• Work in a vibrant and well-resourced school building and grounds including wildlife area, extensive outdoor space and purpose built learning environment.
• Provide enhanced opportunities for children through the use of our own minibus.
• Be supported by a committed and faithful Governing Body.  
• The support of an experienced Leadership Team.
• Benefit from positive links with the wider community. 
• Develop your own skills through a commitment to continued professional development opportunities.

Visits to school are strongly recommended and warmly welcomed. We have allocated Thursday 6th October and Monday 10th October for these visits to take place.
