Job overview

We are seeking an exceptional headteacher to work with the trustees of the Crystal Palace Primary School, a Free School due to open in September 2015, and lead it to become an outstanding local school.

The ethos of the school will be unashamedly one of high standards, both academic and personal. Its aim will be to provide a world-class education to local children, based on the development of positive character traits and a growth mindset.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity, in setting up the school from scratch, to develop the vision and ensure that it permeates everything the school offers. Candidates should be totally committed to enabling all children, regardless of background, to achieve as highly as possible and have a track record of success.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

We are keen to appoint a headteacher to start in January 2015 and, since the site is not yet known, interviews will be held in our partner school, Chesterton School in Battersea. Interviews will be on 17th and 18th September 2014.

CPPS was approved by the Department for Education in June 2014, and has entered the pre-opening stage. Opening is dependent on the Secretary of State signing the final funding agreement.

For further information about the post, please contact either Deborah Gostling (Education Lead) on 07870 692710 or Margaret Peacock (Chair of Governors and headteacher of an outstanding school) on 07961 362323.

Closing Date for applications: 11th September;
Interview dates: 17th and 18th September 2014
