Headteacher

Group 3 Inner London L18 - L24 (Salary negotiable for an exceptional candidate)

Full time / Permanent

Required for September 2025

Welbourne Primary School

Welbourne Primary School is a mixed 3-11 state-maintained primary school situated in South Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey. Tottenham Hale’s tube, overground train and bus terminus and South Tottenham overground railway station are all within a short walking distance.

The school has two forms of entry and has many strengths to be proud of. We have a wide diversity of ethnic, linguistic, and faith backgrounds in the school, and this provides a tremendously rich culture. As a community primary school, our intake consists of a broad ability range including children with special educational needs and very able, gifted and talented pupils. The school serves a community of high economic disadvantage.

Visitors are invariably impressed with our calm, happy and positive atmosphere in the school. Pupils are respectful and well behaved. There is a wonderful ethos in the school enjoyed by all and it enables children to make excellent all-round progress. The pupils are a delight to work with and are highly appreciative of the efforts made by staff. Our children really enjoy school and are proud to be part of the Welbourne family.

We are looking for an exceptional, committed leader with a proven record in educational leadership to share our ambition and strategic vision to build upon the Ofsted inspection of June 2023. The report graded the quality of education, personal development and early years provision as good.

Our future Headteacher will have strong leadership skills and be able to manage the demands of an inner-city primary school. The school has a strong, motivated, and dedicated team of teaching and support staff, committed to ensuring high achievement and equality of opportunity for all.

The role is suitable for an experienced leader who is looking for a second headship or an experienced deputy capable of meeting the challenges of the post. Governors have high expectations for the school.  The new Headteacher will benefit from:

• Enthusiastic and well-behaved pupils who want to learn and take part in all aspects of school life.
• Staff who are committed to providing the best possible education for the pupils.
• A diverse school population.
• Parents and a local community who are extremely positive about the school.
• A supportive and experienced governing body.
• The possibility of developing the existing school buildings.
• Membership of the highly regarded Haringey Education Partnership who provide a wide range of support for local schools. https://haringeyeducationpartnership.co.uk
