Headteacher

Carlton primary school is a dynamic and successful school set in a rural area in the centre of the famous “Rhubarb Triangle” Just south of Leeds; we are located within easy access of the A1, M62 and M1 motorways.

This vacancy has arisen as our current dedicated and well respected Headteacher will be taking retirement after the summer term. We are therefore looking to appoint an exceptional candidate, who will lead the existing team and build on the excellent progress and achievements already made, in order to further improve outcomes for our enthusiastic learners. We are looking for an inspirational leader, who will unlock the potential in each and every child to become a well-rounded Individual.

The school community is looking for:

• A strategic visionary, committed to partnership working and able to work proactively within the cluster of schools.
• An experienced leader with a commitment to excellence in learning, teaching and will challenge, inspire and motivate all.
• A new Headteacher who will continue to keep our lifelong learners happy, healthy and safe.

We can offer in return:

• A vibrant school full of happy, enthusiastic, caring, well-behaved, polite, responsive children who are keen to learn.
• A dedicated hardworking staff team who are keen to build on the schools existing strengths with a wide spectrum of experience.
• A supportive, well informed and passionate governing body committed to the ongoing success of the school.
• An energetic PTA with a determination to improve the learning opportunities for our children.
• Good strong links with other local providers.

Every child really DOES matter to us and applications are invited from suitably experienced candidates who feel that they are the right person to ''make a difference” (and have a love of Rhubarb).

Prospective candidates are welcome to visit the School by emailing our Office Manager, Maxine Haist at maxine.haist@carltonprimaryschool.co.uk or by ringing her on 0113 3783040.
