Headteacher

Harvey Road School is a popular and over-subscribed primary school located in a beautiful setting in Croxley Green, Hertfordshire. The school offers complete wraparound care and a fully integrated nursery within the grounds for pupils aged 3-11.

After 19 years of successful leadership our current Headteacher will be retiring in July 2024. The governors are seeking to appoint a new head who shares our ethos, embraces our vision, and possesses the enthusiasm and drive to inspire our motivated team of staff whilst bringing their own forward-thinking vision and innovative ideas that could further enhance children’s achievement and experience at our school.

Our academic results indicate that our school is one of the highest performing in the country, and children receive a wide ranging, rigorous curriculum that is broad and balanced, ensuring that they are able to meet the demands of the ever-changing world. Most importantly, however, our children are happy and enjoy coming to Harvey Road School. We provide a safe and inclusive environment where pupils can thrive in all aspects of school life. The school benefits from modern facilities, well-equipped classrooms and our own private outdoor swimming pool which is utilised as part of the PE curriculum. 

We are looking for an inspiring and forward-looking leader who shares our commitment to educational excellence and the well-being of every child. You may be an existing headteacher or an experienced deputy headteacher, who is passionate about shaping young minds and creating a positive impact in the community. If this sounds like you, we would love to show you around our fantastic school. 

In return we can offer:

• A stable, supportive and enthusiastic staff team, well versed in all areas of school life.
• The opportunity to build further upon our strong foundations and the chance to bring innovative ideas and future strategies.
• A supportive and engaged governing body.

Together, we can continue to provide a nurturing and high-achieving environment for the children of Harvey Road School.
