Headteacher

The governors, staff and pupils of Melbourne Community Primary School are seeking to appoint an inspirational, energetic and focussed headteacher to lead us on our exciting journey to become an outstanding school.

Melbourne is a very attractive village close to York and Pocklington with a strong community spirit. The post arises following the retirement of our successful headteacher.

Our new headteacher will:

• be a positive role model for all school stakeholders and can motivate others to form strong staff teams
• be innovative and creative enabling every child to reach their potential
• be a highly effective communicator
• value strong partnerships with parents/carers, other schools and the wider community.

We offer you:

• a good school in a pleasant rural location
• a dedicated, highly-skilled and hard working team of staff
• a supportive and pro-active Governing Body
• happy, confident pupils who love coming to school
• a comprehensive induction programme

Melbourne Community Primary School was judged to be “good” in all areas in the most recent Ofsted inspection (June 2013). The report stated “Leaders, managers and governors have developed a strong sense of purpose amongst all staff to drive forward sustained improvement”.

You will be offered a comprehensive three year local authority induction programme.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its children. This post requires an enhanced DBS check.
