 Headteacher Vacancy. Required for September 2024

The Board of Trustees and Academy Committee are looking to appoint a permanent Headteacher for Nova Primary Academy.   

This post would be suitable for current Primary Headteachers, or those with senior leadership experience, who are seeking the opportunity to develop their career. The Headteacher will be responsible for all the day to day operations of the school and work closely with the Trust Executive Team to realise the vision and strategy for every child and staff member to unlock their potential.

 Nova Primary Academy is an ambitious mainstream 4-11 primary school with an inclusive Deaf Hub. The Hub is funded by the High Needs Block and has high needs places for eight pupils. It is also a centre of expertise, providing outreach, training and support for schools who have Deaf pupils on roll throughout the City.

 Our ethos is one of calm, purposeful learning, within a harmonious and inclusive community, which we are proud to serve. Currently, there are 370 pupils on roll in two form entry classes, of which 12% have SEND (of whom 20 have EHCPs), 41% are eligible for free school meals and 46% are pupil premium.

We are located within the bustling city of Peterborough and enjoy direct rail links with London. Peterborough is known for its diverse and inclusive culture which is something we celebrate throughout our school; with 28% of our pupils having English as an additional language. We are proud to serve the families of South Bretton and western Peterborough.

 The Trust is developing its focus on teaching and learning and has begun work with ‘Walkthrus’ to introduce an instructional coaching approach. We are seeking applicants for this role who have the passion and knowledge to lead the school as it seeks to develop the quality of teaching and learning and associated outcomes.

 To apply please submit an application through our website www.pkat.co.uk
