Headteacher

“Working together for a brighter future”

Are you ready for the challenge of leading an outstanding school?

Conveniently situated between Hull and York and close to the historic town of Beverley, Market Weighton is a developing market town nestling at the foot of the tranquil Yorkshire Wolds. Due to the forthcoming retirement of the current Headteacher an opportunity has arisen to lead our school.

We would like to hear from you if you can offer us:

• clear and inspirational leadership, promoting the vision and Christian values which are at the heart of the school
• strong communication skills with a passion to share our ambition for the school
• the desire to build on our strong foundation and take the school to the next level
• the ability and willingness to promote collaborative approaches to learning throughout the school and between school communities
• a desire to further develop the potential of all staff
• the skills and commitment to foster the academic, social, physical, emotional and spiritual development of every child
• excellent classroom skills, real enthusiasm for teaching and learning with a sense of humour and pragmatism
• a willingness to maintain and develop positive links with the churches and wider community
• an openness to embrace change – including the challenges and opportunities affected by possible academisation.

We will offer you:

• leadership of a thriving, caring and growing school within beautiful countryside
• highly responsive and enthusiastic children
• dedicated and talented staff
• outstanding extra-curricular provision
• intuitive and supportive governors
• active and supportive church and community links
• professional training and support from the Diocese of York Education Team and the Local Authority.

You will be offered a comprehensive three year induction package.

You are warmly invited to make an informal visit by contacting the school office, tel (01430) 873338 or visiting our website at www.mountpleasantjuniors.co.uk.
