Headteacher

“A key opportunity for a serving or aspirant head seeking career growth to join this well established primary school on the cusp of further expansion.” Your responsibilities will develop organically as we complete our transition from 2 to 3-form entry, enabling your career to progress as the school expands.

A genuine community ethos characterises this large, south London primary and is very evident within classes and demonstrated by good behaviour around the school. Some of our children are second generation pupils demonstrating the loyalty, fondness and high regard our multi-cultural local families hold for this school.

Currently judged good, there is the groundwork and potential to improve on this. Applicants who can create positive and innovative learning cultures, enjoy responding to the challenge of further developing and extending best practice, plus bring a confidence to lead your team will be welcomed here.

Following recent major refurbishment, our existing facilities are creatively used and our upcoming extension will further enhance what we can offer our pupils; this is an exciting time to be joining our team and the pace of change is productive but needing careful steering combined with inspiration to maximise on the good curricular foundations.

Advantages include:

• Genuine capacity and potential for career development
• Established and growing pupils numbers
• Opportunity to recruit to and build capacity within the leadership structure
• Well structured curriculum
• Planned new build offering more exciting learning possibilities
