Headteacher

Hawthorn Community Primary is a Victorian-built one and half form entry primary school that blends the modern with the traditional. Our vision is to provide children with the necessary skills for life in the 21st Century alongside the basic values of trust, respect, responsibility and care for others

The school is rated ‘Good’ (OFSTED 2012), and is making higher than the county average in attainment and progress for both key stages .We want to build and improve on this, but we are also focused on promoting life-long learning for all pupils not just results. We want to ensure that everyone is recognised for their strengths and talents as well as reaching their academic potential.

We hope this will be an attractive challenge for our new Head teacher.

We are looking to appoint a visionary Head teacher who will:

• Be a creative and inspiring leader who has our pupils’ learning, emotional well-being and happiness at the heart of every decision.
• Have a professional but strong commitment to working not only with the pupils and staff, but also our parents, governors and the wider community.
• Possess the skills required to lead, value, develop and manage an effective team with enthusiasm and continuous drive towards excellence.
• Display exceptional communication skills.
• Be committed to ensuring that best practice is delivered in all aspects of school life and lead by example.
• Be a forward thinking trustee of Hawthorn Extended Services (charity) that is responsible for our playschool and before, afterschool and holiday clubs.

WE CAN OFFER YOU:

• A strong, creative curriculum with a talented teaching team.
• A school that has a positive approach to change and new initiatives that will add to and complement our existing strengths.
• A professional and committed governing body.
• Well behaved pupils with keen attitudes to learning.
