The children, staff, parents and governors of Malmesbury Primary School are looking for an enthusiastic and committed person to become our new Head, due to the impending retirement of our existing Headteacher.

Malmesbury is in the heart of Bow, Tower Hamlets. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive community school, which sits at the heart of the community we serve. We are culturally, ethnically and socially very mixed and we celebrate our diversity, as well as working to bring the community together through our shared vision. We are a vibrant and active school with a strong creative curriculum and a passion for making learning fun! We are passionate about developing our children as successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. We encourage them to ‘Be the Best They Can Be’ at whatever they do.

Malmesbury offers:

• fantastic children, confident, happy and well behaved
• a friendly and supportive ethos which celebrates its multicultural and inclusive nature
• a team of dynamic and dedicated teachers, committed to extensive extra-curricular activities
• high standards of learning and teaching
• a commitment to extra-curriculum provision involving the creative arts and physical education

Our new Head Teacher will:

• be passionate about children’s learning and keen to see all children inspired to succeed
• have vision, commitment and high expectation, leading by example
• be outstanding at motivating and managing staff and creating links with the local community
• enjoy shaping and delivering a broad, balanced, innovative and creative curriculum

In short the school is looking for a dynamic, personable leader to continue this community school's journey from good to outstanding.
