Headteacher

Our Federation is made up of three small rural schools, located on two separate sites, in Nenthead and Alston. 

The schools have progressed a great deal in recent years and, in order to secure this upward trajectory, we are seeking someone with headship experience to replace our retiring headteacher from 1st September 2019. 

The successful candidate might be a current primary, middle or secondary leader; it is the quality of leadership that we will be looking at, absolutely not the sector in which it is most recently based. 

This is a unique opportunity to get to know and work closely with pupils and their families, staff, governors and the wider community, as well as a route to genuine job satisfaction.   

To learn more about our schools go to our website, http://www.alstonmoorfederation.org.uk. To arrange a visit, applications or any enquiries contact Kerry Cooper, Clerk to Governors, by email (clerk@alston.cumbria.sch.uk).  

Closing Date for applications: 12 Noon Friday 1st February 2019

Interviews to be held on 6th & 7th February

We take safeguarding very seriously and will undertake the most stringent checks ahead of any appointment.
