Headteacher, Wiltshire 

Permanent, Full-time with a 0.4 teaching requirement

St. George's is a village school, it is a popular community orientated church school and is now looking for a new Head teacher to lead the school from the beginning of the next academic year.

St. George's strives to be a place of learning, caring and sharing at the heart of our community'; it is a dynamic place which prepares the children for their futures as lifelong learners and happy, active and fulfilled members of society. In February 2013, we were rated by Ofsted as Good in all areas. We are proud to note that Ofsted has commented that "pupils' positive attitudes to lessons and towards each other, coupled with the way staff tackles discrimination, makes the school a happy place to learn."

The Governing Body is now looking for a dynamic leader to embrace the challenge of maintaining the school's respected position in the village community whilst leading and supporting our pupils, parents and staff as we take the next steps in improving further.

• Is willing to drive the school's vision and manage structural change within the educational landscape.
• Has the enthusiasm and skills to lead the school into the next decade of improvements.
