Headteacher

Owing to the retirement of our highly regarded, long-serving Headteacher, the Governors are seeking to appoint a committed, enthusiastic practising Catholic leader to the post of Headteacher in our successful school.

We are looking for a Headteacher who:

• Has a love for children
• Has a commitment to Catholic education and to the partnership between home, school, the Parish and community
• Has high expectations of themselves and others and can lead and motivate colleagues
• Can further develop our vision for continued improvement
• Is a highly effective leader who makes a difference for all by inspiring a thirst for learning

We can offer you:

• A friendly, welcoming community with a strong Catholic ethos
• Happy children who enjoy coming to school
• An excellent and committed Governing Body and staff team who are dedicated to improving the lives of our pupils
• A school where we daily try to live our Mission statement to “Love God and Love One Another”.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Any offer of employment will be subject to an enhanced disclosure from the DBS and satisfactory references.
