Executive Headteacher

Due to the retirement of our very successful Executive Headteacher, the Governing Body of this new Federation, is seeking to appoint a highly motivated, well organised and inspirational individual who will build on the strengths of these two wonderful rural schools, both judged Good by Ofsted.

Both Schools are firmly embraced by their communities, have a proud ethos and strong support from parents. The teachers and staff work closely together to ensure the highest standards of learning for all pupils, irrespective of ability or background. Pupils across both Schools enjoy a wide range of joint activities throughout the school year. Both Schools are active members of the Southerly Point Educational Co-operative Trust.

What we are looking for:

• an inspirational leader who will focus on helping all our pupils achieve their full potential
• an outstanding and decisive leader who will work closely with all key stakeholders to ensure that traditional values are maintained and successfully combined with the best modern practices of teaching and learning
• a clear vision and the ability to build on existing foundations to shape and develop a sustainable future for the Federation
• creativity, vitality, enthusiasm and resilience.

What we offer:

• highly motivated and enthusiastic school communities committed to improving standards in teaching and learning
• an exciting leadership role within a Federation of forward looking and supportive schools
• enthusiastic, respectful and talented children
• creative and hard-working staff that are committed to achieving the best for their pupils
• an important place within the largest Co-operative Trust in the Country; second largest in the World
• a caring, committed, ambitious, supportive and strategically minded Governing Body.

An application form and further details are available from headships@cornwall.gov.uk or 01872 322471.
