Headteacher

Raglan Primary School is a part of the Connect Schools Academy Trust (CSAT). At CSAT, we believe in the use of true partnership to do our very best for every child in our care. CSAT has a collaborative Trust vision and clear values as well as a strong moral purpose to ensure every child within the Trust has access to a forward-thinking education of the highest quality.  

Raglan Primary School is in the CSAT Bromley hub. It is a highly successful two form entry school situated near the centre of town and easily accessible via road and public transport. We are an over-subscribed school with a specialist speech and language provision supporting children from across the Borough and the school also has a thriving nursery.

Our school is vibrant and welcoming with a strong environmental ethos. At Raglan, every child is valued as an individual and is encouraged to reach their full potential. Our last Ofsted report (2017) rated the school as good with outstanding personal development, behaviour and welfare outcomes for pupils. Despite the pandemic, our school is continuing to develop and improve in many ways and we are looking forward to our next inspection where we will be hoping to achieve an outstanding recognition.

The last year has taught us that as leaders we have to be resilient, adaptable and focussed on providing high quality education to children whatever situation we find ourselves in. We are looking for a leader who has these attributes and will use them to build on our current success and achieve our ambitions for a modern and innovative school which is at the centre of our local community.

The school is currently being led by an experienced Head Teacher who is entering retirement.

We are looking to recruit a Head Teacher who:

• Can support the development of a clear vision that is embraced by all
• Has the passion to focus relentlessly on what is best for our pupils
• Will share our vision for pursuing environmental development and learning outside the classroom
• Is experienced in creating a dynamic team who understand the true meaning of high quality provision
• Is a knowledgeable, highly driven and forward thinking leader who is able to promote new and innovative ideas
• Has the skills to support the provision of a high quality education for the children in our additional resourced provision
• Is committed to achieving the best for each and every pupil, irrespective of their starting points
• Is able to provide strong and supportive leadership within an ambitious organisation
• Is committed to leading our school from our current Ofsted rating of “good” to “outstanding”
• Will work collaboratively with the wider Trust

If you can answer yes to all of these points, and you are an outstanding teacher with a resilient character and strong personal drive, then you might be the person we are looking for!

We can offer you:

• Genuine investment in your professional development and future career
• The opportunity to contribute to the development of an exciting, forward-thinking organisation and to the development of Trust wide initiatives
• Peer to peer networking, collaboration, and challenge in a truly supportive working environment.
• Staff incentive package
• Positive, happy children who are well behaved and enjoy coming to school and learning
• Friendly, dedicated and experienced staff who are committed to our school and children
• A supportive and engaged board of Governors
