Head Teacher

Develop our vision, build on our achievements

About the challenge

We need you to develop a clear vision for our large junior school. Sharing the same site as a good infant school, we are a school of choice, with 70 per cent of our pupils coming from out of catchment. You'll build on our achievements to ensure we achieve a good Ofted rating in our next inspection and inspire the high performing KS1 intake. You'll also face the challenges of a changing cohort.

About the role

Committed to maintaining the broad curriculum we provide at the school, including sports and music, you will lead a team including new recruits as well as established members of staff. It's a chance to work closely with happy and well behaved children that are eager to learn, an effective pastoral support team and a highly motivated, knowledgeable and supportive team of governors.

About the individual

We're looking for a dynamic and highly qualified teacher with the passion to move our school forward. You will also have considerable experience of successful teaching and leadership within a junior school setting.

Perhaps you're currently working as a head or a deputy in a large school with a diverse cohort. You will definitely have experience of curriculum development.
