Headteacher

We are looking to recruit an inspirational Head Teacher who provides strong and supportive leadership, empowers all children to achieve their best and will lead the school community in continuing its progress towards being outstanding.

Halesbury School is an all age special school in Halesowen, which has places for 105 pupils and which caters for a range of needs, including moderate learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorders, speech and language, communication and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It enjoys strong links with the local community, supportive parents and a committed and effective governing body.

Halesbury is due for inspection this term and through the hard work and enthusiasm of all staff, particularly the current head teacher, we envisage this judgement will be good as we are a strongly improving school.
