Headteacher

Lead an exceptional school. Shape its next chapter.

Myton School is ready for its next Headteacher — a values-driven, trauma informed and ambitious leader who wants to build on strong foundations and take an already high-performing school to the next level.

Situated between Warwick and Leamington Spa, Myton is an oversubscribed and highly regarded 11–18 school of over 1,700 pupils. Our students achieve GCSE outcomes consistently above national averages, and our Sixth Form — judged Outstanding — continues to grow (PAN rising to 550) as demand from families increases.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a thriving, community-rooted school with momentum, ambition and the capacity to grow further.

Why Myton?

You will inherit:

• A strong culture of aspiration, respect, inclusion and values-driven practice

• An Outstanding Sixth Form with a broad and ambitious post-16 offer

• A deeply committed and talented staff team

• A highly effective and respected SEND department embedded in trauma-informed, child-centred approaches

• Pupils who are engaged, community-minded and proud of their school

• A rich extra-curricular programme including residentials, international trips, Duke of Edinburgh, university visits and more

• A transformative new build project, completing in just three years, delivering state‑of‑the‑art, modern facilities that will elevate the experience for every young person we serve.

You will also benefit from strong primary partnerships and meaningful community links that support transition and outreach.

The Opportunity

As Headteacher, you will:

• Build on sustained academic success and drive the next phase of excellence

• Strengthen a culture of high expectations, achievement and inclusion grounded in values-based leadership

• Champion staff wellbeing, professional growth and trauma-informed relational practice

• Lead with moral purpose, clarity and visibility

• Work collaboratively across Stowe Valley Multi Academy Trust

• Shape the future of a school already trusted and valued by its community

This role offers both stability and scope: a successful school with the platform and support to innovate, refine and grow.

We’re Looking For a Leader Who:

• Is ambitious for every child and every colleague

• Combines strategic vision with operational strength

• Builds trust quickly and communicates with authenticity

• Leads inclusively and develops others

• Thrives in collaboration across a forward-thinking MAT

What You’ll Gain

• The privilege of leading a truly exceptional school

• A comprehensive induction and strong Trust support

• A skilled, committed and welcoming staff body

• A supportive Governing Body

• The backing of Stowe Valley Multi Academy Trust — 14 schools working together to share expertise, develop best practice and support one another professionally and personally

If you are energised by leading a school where ambition, creativity and moral purpose drive everything — this could be the defining next step in your career.
