Headteacher

Following the retirement of the current postholder we are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, dedicated and inspirational headteacher who is committed to leading Redhill School at an exciting and challenging time. The school enjoys an unrivalled reputation in the local community based on the school’s commitment to excellence and care. Staff and pupils are immensely proud of their school and setting the bar high is, for them, a force of habit.

The headship of Redhill School is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader looking either to extend their experience of headship or to take up their first headship in a rewarding environment and within a very supportive multi-academy trust. The successful candidate would need to remain focused on maintaining and raising standards of academic achievement at the same time as building on the cohesive school community where children and staff flourish.

The new headteacher will be:

• Passionate about providing the best possible education and care for all pupils
• Able to lead and motivate the staff team and school community; inspiring, challenging and supporting them to achieve the best
• Able to consistently communicate a clear and compelling vision for Redhill School within the Stour Vale Academy Trust

For an informal discussion please contact Stephen Dunster, CEO at Stour Vale Academy Trust, on 01384 816632.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced disclosure check by the disclosure and barring service.
