can be assured that you will have the full support of the committed and very capable Governors and
Trustees as you lead our school onwards.
You will find our school situated in the attractive coastal location of Southport with excellent transport

Raikes. We have a comprehensive Employee Assistance Wellbeing Package and drive strategic planning
for wellbeing through the Well School Trust framework.

excellence, we look forward to receiving your application and hopefully to meeting you soon. Please
