HEADTEACHER

Required: April or September 2022

Leadership Scale : L11-17

Are you a talented leader with a passion for education, and a vision of excellence for all? Do you thrive on raising standards and developing practitioners to ensure children have access to an excellent education and real choices in life? Are you committed to the principles of inclusion, equality of opportunity & diversity? If so, we may have just the opportunity you are looking for.

Our two-form entry primary school and nursery has faced some significant challenges in recent times, but the corner has been turned. The children and staff of Richard de Clare deserve a passionate headteacher who can lead the school onwards and upwards. We need an expert in teaching and learning; someone who is committed to providing a rich and creative curriculum that inspires children to learn; someone who knows what high quality provision and academic progress looks like and can inspire all stakeholders to achieve the shared vision. 

We seek a leader with a proven record of building successful school communities and developing strong relationships with children, parents, trust leadership and the wider community. As a leader within Bridge Academy Trust we seek a partner who has a genuine desire to work with and beyond our primary and secondary schools across mid-Essex, contributing to the wider education system and longer term vision of excellence for our communities. In joining our Trust, we commit to you and your leadership development, and can offer significant opportunities for networking and development within and beyond Richard de Clare.

We welcome applications from all suitable candidates, regardless of any protected characteristic.
