Headteacher

The Academy wish to appoint two Head Teachers to take up office in September 2019. We now invite applications for the posts from suitably qualified applicants.

At The Levels Academy Trust we are passionate about making a difference to the lives of all our children. They are at the heart of everything we do and we strive to inspire learners and change their lives, as a result of our vibrant and personalised educational provision. We want all our schools to be the best they can be and for each child to discover the skills, abilities, talents and interests that lie within them.

We are privileged to have Huish Episcopi Primary School, Hambridge Primary School and Middlezoy and Othery Primary Schools presently within The Levels Academy Trust located in the beautiful, historic and cultured county of Somerset.

Our Academy Trust are seeking two inspirational and engaging strategic Head Teachers who have the vision, energy and drive to lead two of our rural schools forward through strong and collaborative relationships with children, staff, parents and governors. You will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and a proven track record of driving high standards through the provision of outstanding teaching, leadership and learning. In enhancing the Academy you will be innovative and responsive and able to inspire and nurture our children to be well-rounded individuals.

These are two outstanding opportunities for high calibre individuals to make a real impact in a role that will stretch your skills as a leader to inspire staff and students alike. We are interested in hearing from candidates who are dynamic, enthusiastic and driven with high expectations of yourself and others. Being a head teacher takes courage, patience and commitment and you will have these qualities as well as being an excellent educational practitioner who is able to model and coach outstanding practice.
