Due to the retirement of our current exceptional Headteacher, The Governors are seeking to appoint a Headteacher committed to sustaining and building on our strengths and our shared vision from our outstanding Ofsted inspection.

· Have proven strong communication and management skills.

This is an exciting time for our school as we continue in our journey in ‘Striving for Excellence’ and building on the excellent work and watching our children grow in character. Our school is an exciting, learning community with the emphasis on high quality teaching creating effective learners, putting great emphasis on the development of confidence, self-esteem, independence, kindness and courtesy. 

Saltergate Junior School is located in Scawsby to the west of Doncaster, close to the Cusworth Hall Estate and Country Park. It is a 3 form entry school serving local families and neighbouring communities. Saltersgate is a secure and happy place. Pupils in partnership with parents and carers are supported and helped to develop academically, socially, physically and emotionally.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our children and young people. As a Headteacher you foster a positive working relationship with the governing body and will be able to understand and appreciate its role in supporting and challenging you.  In return you can expect the opportunity to work with outstanding leaders and continue our strong ethos of partnership working.

If you are the right person and have the skills, drive and values to meet the challenge, it will be a great opportunity to develop your career as a leader and to make a real difference to our children, staff, parents and the wider community of Doncaster.
