Headteacher

The Learning Together Trust family, governors, staff and children are seeking to appoint an inspirational and enthusiastic leader with the skills, vision and passion to guide us on our journey to “Good”, and to build on the progress made since the last Ofsted monitoring inspection.

“Staff’s expectations of what pupils should achieve are higher. Staff are more enthusiastic and confident in their teaching ability because of the training and support they have received since the previous inspection.”

“Pupils are now learning more successfully because of better teaching.”

“Support from a local Headteacher and increasingly from the proposed sponsor academy trust, has also made a big difference to the work of staff and leaders in helping to improve teaching and leadership.” Ofsted Section 8 Monitoring Inspection September 2018
