Headteacher

An amazing opportunity for headship has arisen at our popular school due to the retirement of our longstanding Headteacher.

The governors are seeking to appoint an aspirational and innovative leader to head up our committed team of staff and sustain our positive learning culture aimed at developing life-long learners.

The school is situated in the village of Blundeston in Suffolk, approximately 4 miles from Lowestoft and 8 miles from Great Yarmouth. We are lucky to have a beautiful countryside location, with major connecting roads nearby for easy commuting.

We are proud to offer:

• a strong, values led school, accomplishing our core message of Working Together to Achieve More
• a consistently high achieving school, aspiring to be Outstanding (currently Good with Outstanding Early Years provision)
• motivated children with a positive attitude to learning
• a dedicated, supportive staff and governing board
• a modern, well maintained school environment, with excellent learning facilities.

Our Headteacher will:

• promote and develop the distinctive ethos of our church school
• be an excellent communicator
• lead by example with authority, drawing on their own expertise and from those around them
• be forward thinking, technically as well as creatively
• manage change effectively and embrace the challenges that will arise in the future development of the school
• empower staff, pupils, parents and governors alike to fulfil their potential.
