Headteacher

Due to the retirement of our current Headteacher, Dore Primary School is looking for an exceptional and dynamic person to lead our two class entry primary school.

Our children love coming to school because of the vibrant and creative learning environment. The staff go the extra mile, with many opportunities offered to all children both in the classroom and as extra-curricular activities. As a result the children's achievements are consistently above the national average. The ethos, values and culture of the school are reflected well on our school website at www.dore.sheffield.sch.uk.

As Headteacher we need you to lead us in our journey from "good" to "outstanding". You will strive for excellence and ensure that every child reaches their full personal and academic potential. Your excellent communication skills will quickly gain the trust, respect and commitment of staff, and the support of the whole school community.

In return, you will be supported by a strong governing body that shares the school's vision to become an outstanding school. We hope you will want to work with us, the staff, and the fantastic children at our school, and look forward to your application.
