Headteacher

Due to the retirement of our successful Headteacher, the Governors, staff and children wish to appoint an inspirational, innovative and committed person to lead our successful primary school and take it from ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’.

You could already be a Headteacher, or perhaps you are an ambitious deputy who is looking for their next career step. Either way, you should be an exceptional leader who can inspire staff and make a real difference to the life chances of every child. This is great opportunity to lead one of the largest primary schools in East Sussex.

You will have:

• a clear vision, be strategic in your approach and hold strong leadership skills
• a commitment to raising standards and achievements
• the ability to create strong relationships with staff and pupils to encourage all to achieve their very best
• a passion for promoting learning across the whole school community
• visibility and involvement at all levels of school activity

We are proud to offer you:

• the opportunity to lead in a 2 - 11 age range primary school which includes 48 nursery places
• welcoming, well behaved and friendly pupils who love coming to school
• a professional team of dedicated teachers, support staff and a strong community of parents
• a dedicated, experienced and supportive Governing Body
• the opportunity to build on the success of our recent Ofsted grading of Good
• strong links to working in partnership with local schools
