Head of Hunsley Primary

We are looking for a gifted, enthusiastic, inspirational primary school leader to join us at a crucial point in the development of the new Hunsley Primary. This is a wonderful opportunity to lead the development of the Hunsley Primary which will open in September 2015 with the capacity for 210 4-11 year olds. Hunsley Primary will provide opportunities for all its children to make outstanding progress; in particular, it will stimulate and challenge pupils as mathematicians and scientists, underpinning our vision to develop a lasting strength of independent enquiry in our pupils. We are developing a unique, exciting curriculum and the opportunities for innovation, creativity, collaboration and impact present a once in a lifetime experience for a visionary leader who is passionate about teaching and learning.

Hunsley Primary will be based in Brough in the East Riding of Yorkshire and it will form part of the Hunsley Trust, which is committed to encouraging communities of local schools to come together as a single team and help deliver strong academic achievement and success across the Trust. The Hunsley Trust employs a talented, diverse workforce that works collaboratively, sharing good practice and a genuine love for learning. Our people are given every opportunity to learn and develop through sharing knowledge and expertise as well as accessing our comprehensive in-house development programme and external partnerships. We invest heavily in teaching and learning and our career pathways provide staff with a variety of opportunities for progression, enabling staff to continue to build their knowledge, skills and expertise.

The Hunsley Primary is surrounded by beautiful countryside yet is near to the 2017 UK City of Culture. The Hunsley Trust has an outstanding secondary school and with affordable housing and good motorway and public transport connections, is an ideal location and relocation assistance may be available.

If you are hardworking, committed, and loyal and are passionate about enabling children to achieve greatness, achieving a lifelong love of learning, we would love to hear from you. In return we can offer job satisfaction, a wealth of opportunity for professional development and a working environment that allows you to be creative, try new things and enhance your skills and expertise for the better.
