Headteacher, Sheffield

Are you the leader we're looking for to take us to the next stage of our journey, to give our children an education that is inspiring, motivating and develops lifelong learners?

The Governors, children and staff at Hunters Bar Infant School Sheffield are looking for a highly motivated and skilled early years specialist looking for the next challenge in their career at our very special and unique school. You will be working with a creative, highly motivated and hardworking staff team, committed Governors and a delightful group of children and their families.

We are an exceptional school, genuinely diverse in every way. We have the most wonderful children from a wide variety of different backgrounds, representing many cultures, languages and families and children with a wide range of abilities and needs. Ours is a school which strives to be ever more welcoming, inclusive, creative and successful.

Hunters Bar Infant School is a highly sought after, three form entry school with 270 children aged 4-7 in EYFS and Key Stage 1. Our 'Good' school (Ofsted Feb 2013) builds incredibly strong foundations of learning and care, that stay with children as they move onto the next stage of their education to maximise the potential of our children from 4-7 and onto 11, 18 and beyond.

Hunters Bar lies in the south west of Sheffield with a wide-ranging population, situated by the ever fashionable Ecclesall Road and by both of the city's universities and hospitals. Ours is an urban school, close to the city with excellent transport links, and surrounded by the beautiful open spaces of Endcliffe Park and the Botanical Gardens.

We can offer you:

• an inclusive, stimulating, unique and vibrant learning environment with experienced and hard-working staff and where children feel happy, engaged and secure
• A chance to have direct impact into the future vision and ambition of the school

• Be a good communicator and listener, who values the opinion of others
• Be able to articulate your vision for the school and carry the staff, parents and governors with you
• Be honest, confident, creative, firm, fun and fair
