Due to the retirement of our previous Head teacher after several years with the school an exceptional opportunity has arisen for an inspirational Headteacher to provide professional leadership and management for our school. We are a consistently good school with outstanding features and require a Headteacher who can move us to outstanding.

It is essential that you are able to clearly articulate and communicate your vision of the future to pupils, parents, staff and Governors.

• A strong commitment to both academic standards and the individual growth of every child.
• A genuinely child centred and inclusive approach with a passion for outstanding teaching and learning
• A pro-active approach to building effective relationships and working in partnership both within school and across the wider community.
