Headteacher

At Cliffe VC Primary School our aim is to create a forward thinking, inspirational teaching environment where every child is happy at school, enabling them to thrive, grow and achieve. The atmosphere in school is very friendly and welcoming. We were rated as Good by Ofsted in 2016.

We have a very strong historical relationship with the North Selby Cluster which provides CPD and strong headteacher support. In addition, we are also part of the much larger Selby Cluster which delivers school to school support including moderation and a subject leader support network.

Our new Headteacher will:

• Have high expectations for all with a passionate commitment to raising standards within a broad, creative curriculum.
• Be an effective communicator with emotional intelligence.
• Have demonstrable ability to develop and build partnerships and collaborations that will benefit the children and staff.
• Be a forward-thinker, open to new ideas and initiatives that will enhance the children’s learning.
• Work as part of a team with the aim of delivering an outstanding, child-centred learning environment.
• Lead by example, providing inspiration and an environment which encourages ambition while staying true to our ethos and values.
• Provide cover for teaching staff as appropriate.
• Have the expertise to effectively analyse data and manage the budget.

In return, we can offer you:

• Children who are polite, enthusiastic, well-mannered, independent and eager to learn.
• A dedicated, motivated and experienced staff team which is committed to a broad, creative curriculum.
• Children, staff and governors who embrace the values of the school.
• A supportive and engaged governing body.
