Headteacher

St James’ CE Primary School is seeking to appoint a highly motivated, dedicated, and inspirational leader to help shape the next phase of our school’s exciting journey.

Our school prides itself on being part of the community and the role it plays in supporting, encouraging and growing the achievement and aspirations of children and families in the local area. 

Our Christian Values are at the core of everything we do, creating an environment where Trust and Respect are mutual between adults and children alike; Friendship is valued and celebrated; Forgiveness and Thankfulness both taught and modelled; and Hope and Courage spur our children on to ever broader horizons and desires to make a difference in the world.

The school is proud to be part of the Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust, which not only provides significant support and development opportunities for the school and staff, but also places us within a wider network where Christian values and principles permeate everything that is achieved.

The role of the Headteacher at St James’ will be rewarding, and the successful candidate will strive to make the school a centre of excellence for within the Trust and wider Wigan area. We are proud of our school and we are looking for someone who can share our vision and ambitions for the future. This is a fantastic opportunity for an existing Headteacher or a highly experienced Deputy Head to join our school.

If you are someone who feels they can both embrace the strengths of our past successes and also rise to the challenges of the future, we would very much like to hear from you.
