Headteacher

Fellside Community Primary School

Group 2 School

L14 – L20

Due to the retirement of our exceptionally talented and successful Head Teacher an exciting opportunity has arisen at Fellside for an inspirational leader to provide dynamic strategic leadership to take the school to the next stage of its development. Our recent Ofsted rating (May 2022) is good with outstanding elements and the school requires a Head Teacher who will continue to support our staff team in our journey for excellence, where learning is at the heart of all we do.

We are looking for a Head Teacher who will help us to achieve our Mission: “Ensuring every member of our school community is inspired to fulfill their potential and is prepared effectively for their future”.

 Fellside is the right choice for a Head Teacher who will:

 Be an inspirational leader with the vision to further enhance the quality of education for our learners

• Be passionate about a culture, where everyone is valued and encouraged to succeed
• Be an inclusive, creative and exceptional teaching and learning practitioner
• Demonstrate strong, motivational and fair leadership skills
• Continue to develop and enhance our effective and respectful partnership with parents
• Provide governors with new ways to innovate and develop the school to build capacity further

Gateshead Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will require an Enhanced Certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
