Headteacher

As a result of our exceptional Headteacher’s wish to retire, the Governors of Queensgate Primary School are seeking to appoint an outstanding headteacher with the drive and skills to deliver the school’s vision to provide an excellent education, both academic and social.

We are looking for a Headteacher who:

• Is passionate about teaching and learning and believes in developing the true potential for each of our children
• Is a confident leader, committed to sustained improvement within a growing school
• Is an exemplary role model with strong leadership and organisational skills
• Can nurture, inspire, challenge and motivate pupils and staff alike
• Has the ambition, desire and dedication to maintain and strengthen links with parents, governors and the wider community
• Can guide the school through a potential increase in size in a changing community

We can offer you:

• An outstanding School:
  
  “An outstanding school that effectively combines the achievement of very high academic standards with warmth, kindness, and an awful lot of fun. It provides outstanding value for money. Parents are delighted with the provision offered by the school often using the word 'fantastic' and praising the 'excellent staff.' They recognise that the headteacher has driven the relentless focus on improving standards and accelerating achievement and her insistence on 'raising the bar' has resulted in outstanding teaching combined with an outstanding curriculum.” (Ofsted 2008)

• A high quality and vibrant learning environment where everyone is motivated and supported to fulfil their potential

• Happy, enthusiastic and well motivated pupils who are engaged in their learning and are very proud of their school

• Parents and a governing body who support and actively participate in the life of the school

• A commitment to continued professional development for staff at all levels
