Headteacher

Following the announcement of the retirement of our long-standing, dynamic and well respected Headteacher, the Governors, staff and children of Spring Hill Community Primary School are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and energetic person to build upon the school's current achievement. There are many opportunities for our new Headteacher to use their vision, experience and drive to help the school grow and develop, and to nurture its special ethos.

We aim to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children feel valued and respected. They are motivated to become independent and confident learners and thinkers who will become responsible, trustworthy and caring members of society.
