Headteacher

Glebelands Primary School is a friendly, successful school in a semi-rural location on the city/county border. We are proud of the in-clusive nature of our school and are committed to providing all of our children with a rich learning envi-ronment by developing confident and enthusiastic learners who show support and tolerance for each other and the wider world.

Rated as “Good” by OFSTED in September 2014 the report stated that “Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a particular strength of the school. The school’s own values underpin all it does and this is reflected in the support and respect pupils show each other.”

The children, staff and governors are seeking to appoint an inspirational, forward thinking leader to build on our current successes and lead us towards being an 'outstanding' school.

We are looking for someone who:

• Leads by example.
• Has an excellent understanding of all aspects of school management together with strong leadership and motivational skills.
• Has the desire to encourage and nurture a love of learning through the setting of high expectations for children’s achievements and behaviour.
• Has the collaborative in-terpersonal skills necessary to build positive and long lasting relationships with children, staff, parents, governors and the wider community.
• Is committed to excellence in teaching and learning.

In return we can offer you:

• A school with hardworking and happy children who are eager to learn
• A highly supportive, enthusiastic and dedicated staff and governor team
• The opportunity to enhance your leadership skills with a commitment to your professional development
• An exciting professional challenge
• An excellent opportunity to work in a cohesive and friendly environment.

Prospective candidates are warmly welcomed and strongly encouraged to visit the school, prior to an application, so that you can see our wonderful location and experience our ethos.

What our students say:

• “I love the way we all work together.”
