We believe that consistency and continuity of our strategic journey to be key and therefore the successful candidate will bring energy, vision and experience to build on the school's strong foundations, sharing our ambition for driving excellence. The Headteacher will work with a highly engaged staff team, supporting their continued professional development and maintaining the high standards of teaching and learning.
