Headteacher

Vacancy ID: 103314

This multicultural school has been serving the diverse local community for 63 years – and now is a particularly exciting moment to take over its leadership.

Farley Junior is a good school, having been given this grade in all four categories in our Ofsted inspection on 22 May 2015.

Some key comments are:

• leaders and staff work well as a team and strive to do the very best for pupils
• the school is a harmonious community where cultural diversity is celebrated
• pupils show enthusiasm for learning.

We have Specialist Leaders in Education for Maths, English, PE and PSHE. A recent extension has given us more classrooms and a bigger and better staffroom. Our budget is healthy. Now we’re ready and eager to move on to the next stage of our upward journey.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious leader with the vision to make their mark.

The school has very supportive governors who will be looking to you to:

• raise standards to become outstanding at our next Ofsted
• build on the strengths of a committed staff team
• strengthen our links with the community
• encourage our students to become leaders of the future.

This is a non-teaching position.

To be considered, you’ll need to be:

• an experienced Head, Deputy Head or Assistant Head
• looking for your next exciting challenge
• someone who sets high standards for yourself and everyone around you
• someone with a proven talent for team building.

Visits to the school are welcome, please contact Gina Woodbridge at the school office on 01582 725069 to arrange an appointment.
