Job overview
Good foundations, great future!
The Bulmershe School is a diverse and inclusive school that can proudly claim that we have become a school of choice. We believe strongly that promoting ‘student voice’ is as important as our continuous push for academic excellence.
Building on the strong progress firmly established over the last few years, we are now looking for a leader to help us improve on these solid foundations and move our school towards achieving outstanding status.
A serving headteacher or an experienced deputy head, you will be adept at managing a range of competing priorities. Our immediate challenges include: maintaining the focus on whole school improvement; planning our transition to academy status and the changes that may result from this; and strengthening ties with our local primary schools.
Most of all, your exceptional leadership skills should inspire and motivate others. Your ability to think outside the box should sit comfortably with our culture and values on diversity. And your inclusive vision should exemplify our motto, ‘where everyone matters’.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to respect this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced CRB check.

Ofsted report
“Students make good progress overall. The standards they attain in English, mathematics, science and a range of other subjects are at, or above, the national average. The school is improving quickly. Teaching is good and sometimes outstanding. Lessons are well planned and paced so that students are engaged in their learning. Students’ behaviour, both in lessons and around the school, is very good. Students’ very positive attitudes to learning contribute to their good progress in lessons. The school is a harmonious community with good relationships between students and staff. Students feel very safe and the school promotes their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well.”
