Headteacher

Due to the retirement of our exceptionally talented Head Teacher an exciting opportunity has arisen at Grange Farm Primary School for an inspirational Leader to provide dynamic strategic leadership to take the school to the next stage of its development. Our current Ofsted rating is good with outstanding features and the school requires a Head Teacher who will continue to support our upward journey towards excellence.

We are part of LEPP (Leeds East Primary Partnership) Cooperative Trust with three other local primary schools and are committed to continue the work with our partners to raise levels of educational attainment and achievement.

We are looking for a leader who will:

• Relentlessly pursue improved outcomes for children.
• Maintain and develop our excellent Learning Challenge Curriculum in light of new National Curriculum guidelines.
• Continue the innovative work begun as part of LEPP.
• Be passionate about a culture where everyone is valued and encouraged to succeed.
• Ensure best value of the Pupil Premium funding to enhance the educational opportunities for our most vulnerable pupils.
• Continue to develop and enhance our strong partnership with parents.

At Grange Farm you will find a:

• Well-motivated, dedicated team with a supportive governing body who together help to create an inspirational working environment.
• Strong commitment to both academic standards and the individual growth of every child.
• Proactive approach to supporting community cohesion as part of LEPP.
• Genuinely child centred and inclusive approach with staff who have a passion for outstanding teaching and learning.
• Chance to work with wonderful, enthusiastic and responsive children who are eager to learn.
