Headteacher

Do you share our vision that by ‘learning together, we achieve great things’? If so, our fast-growing outstanding primary school at the heart of one of Oxfordshire’s largest villages could present you with a great opportunity to lead us to further growth and success.

Our vision is reflected in all aspects of school life:

• Our children thrive academically in a supportive and enriching environment, encouraged by dynamic and dedicated staff.

• We embrace a culture of continuous improvement, which has seen the school develop in every aspect.

• We are proud of our links with our local church and community, and of the leading role our teachers play in the successful local schools’ partnership.

• Our extracurricular activities, which include an onsite community swimming pool, provide our children with opportunities for enthusiastic participation and development.

• We engage proactively with the local authority and others to ensure the fabric of the school reflects the educational excellence inside.

As our current Headteacher retires after transforming the school over the last 7 years, we are looking for an ambitious, creative and inspiring individual with:

• A track record of improving educational outcomes for every child in their care

• The ability to motivate their colleagues to always give of their best

• An excellent rapport with external stakeholders

• A strong commitment to the Christian ethos of the school.

In return, we can offer you:

• A stimulating and rewarding working environment to develop your career

• Highly motivated and well behaved pupils

• Committed and experienced teaching and support colleagues

• Supportive community and a fully engaged Governing body
