You will have high expectations and the knowledge, experience and interpersonal skills to lead sustained improvement throughout the school whilst being committed to providing a creative, stimulating and inclusive learning environment.

Following a recent Ofsted inspection, the school continues to remain within the “requires improvement” category.

• strong leadership, management and organisational skills and excellent inter-personal skills 

• reflective, with good communication and listening skills

• able to promote the school, engaging with parents, carers and the wider community

In return we can offer:

• supportive, well informed Governors who are dedicated to a vision of educational excellence, with commitment to your continuing professional development 

• opportunities to work collaboratively with our Trust partner schools 

• a committed, dedicated and friendly staff 

• children who love learning 

• the support of Wickersley Partnership Trust 

We believe this is a very exciting opportunity for a talented, driven individual to help progress their career.  

For an informal, confidential discussion, please contact Mrs Ann Marie Lee or Mr Andrew Jessop (Executive Improvement Partners for Wickersley Partnership Trust) on 07936 358268. 

Visits to the school are welcomed and can be arranged by contacting Helen Richards (Consultant Head Teacher) on 0114 287 2432.

Closing date for applications is noon, Friday 18th October 2019

Interviews will be held over 2 days on 24th and 25th October 2019.
