Job overview
The retirement of our highly respected headteacher has created an
exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and determined leader who can
continue to take the school through further stages in its development to
become an outstanding school.
Westfield Primary Academy is a member of the Samuel Ward Academy Trust
and is a bespoke new build in 2012. This has been modelled on a 'schools
within schools' ethos and has a strong community feel. It has been
graded as 'Good' but has aspirations to become outstanding.
You will need to be an effective leader with a passion for teaching and
learning, committed to improvement and able to promote excellent
classroom practice. You will need to be able to demonstrate a focus on
teaching and learning, developing leadership skills in all staff and on
achievement.
Management, team leadership and interpersonal skills are important and
you will be able to develop effective partnerships with staff,
governors, parents and the wider community. You will also need to work
with the Executive Principal and other schools within the Trust.
This is an excellent opportunity for an existing enthusiastic Deputy
Head who will have the opportunity to learn from a successful Executive
Principal.
Westfield Primary Academy has well behaved children with enthusiasm for
learning, a skilled and dedicated staff team, active and involved
governors and strong parental support. It is a growing school with huge
potential.
