Headteacher

Due to the retirement of our highly regarded headteacher, the governors of Worlebury St Paul’s C of E VA Primary School wish to appoint an inspirational headteacher with proven management and teaching skills. The post offers the opportunity to develop the excellent standards and Christian ethos of the school, whilst building on the relationship between the school, the church and the community. Our modern, spacious learning environment, set in a stunning hill top location above a growing seaside town with close road, rail and air links to Bristol, London and beyond, adds to this exciting opportunity.
