Headteacher

Due to the impending retirement of our Headteacher, governors at Holy Trinity CE First School in Berwick-upon-Tweed are looking for someone just as exceptional to replace her. Could that someone be you?

Our exciting and creative curriculum inspires a love of learning which ensures our high standards. We are committed to ensuring all pupils achieve their full potential and hope you will help us continue to provide challenging and imaginative opportunities for our children (and our staff).

We have a reputation for “outstanding” behaviour (Ofsted 2014) and for “nurturing the gifts and talents of every individual” (SIAMS 2016).

You will be an inspirational and visionary leader capable of shaping the strategic direction of the school.

Resilient and resourceful; you won’t be afraid to get stuck in. Maybe you would like to have a go at playing steel pans or camping overnight in school? We’re sure you’ll have big ideas of your own to bring to our school.

You will share our core values of love, respect, creativity and perseverance which permeates the life of the school. You will lead a dedicated and hard-working team and have the backing of supportive staff, parents and governors.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is a historic seaside town, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of north Northumberland and yet only 45 minutes from Newcastle and Edinburgh on the East Coast Mainline.

We invite you to come and visit our school before submitting your application. Please contact Sandra Kenny (sandra.kenny@holytrinity.northumberland.sch.uk)  in the school office on 01289 306142 to arrange a visit.

An application pack, including an application form, is available to download from this website.

Completed application forms should be returned directly by e-mail to headships@northumberland.gov.uk no later than midday on Friday 1st June 2018. Interviews will be held on 18 June 2018.
