Headteacher

Netherleigh and Rossefield School is an independent school for girls and boys aged 2-11 in Bradford. Netherleigh and Rossefield School is a non-selective, happy school with 146 children currently on roll and a strong reputation in the local area. Relationships with parents are excellent; with families eager to support the school and their children’s learning.

The current Headmaster has been appointed to a new role in an international school in the Far East. Following a successful ISI inspection in June 2017, this is an excellent opportunity for a new Headteacher to take Netherleigh and Rossefield School to another level.

We are looking to appoint an inspirational Headteacher who will preserve the caring, supportive ethos of our school whilst leading it to further success. The Headteacher will work in conjunction with the proprietors and dedicated leadership team from September 2018.

We welcome applications from serving Headteachers as well as ambitious Deputies or Assistant Heads who can demonstrate excellent leadership and communication skills and drive the school forwards.

We are looking for a Headteacher who will:

• value our children and take pride in their achievements, inspiring them to be passionate learners who realise their full potential
• be an inspirational leader, who will work with all staff to achieve the best outcomes for children;
• demonstrate the skills and vision to improve our school;
• actively promote the school’s strengths and ethos and develop the role played by the school in the local community;
• maintain a culture of excellent pupil behaviour;
• be committed to providing a safe and supportive school environment.
• be flexible and adaptable – no two days are the same for the Head of a small prep school!

We can offer:

• a happy, safe learning environment in which every child develops a love of learning
• a supportive ethos built upon mutual respect;
• a highly-motivated, dedicated staff and committed, active and supportive Proprietors;
• very supportive parents and carers;
