Headteacher

Following an extensive period of very successful leadership our highly valued Headteacher is leaving headship and moving on to other challenges.

The Governors are looking for an enthusiastic person to lead the school on the next stage of its development.

We have:

• Children who are happy, keen to learn and confident to engage with new experiences
• Achievement which is generally above the national average (OfSTED “Good” 2012)
• Very good links with parents, the Church, the local community, an active involvement in our Frome Learning Partnership and a global link with schools in India
• A school where spiritual development and inclusive Christian values are central and important to us all
• A spirit of enterprise and a creative curriculum which reflects the vibrant culture in our growing market town
• Confident, child centred teaching which is built on strong team work and a willingness to engage in dialogue about change

We offer you an opportunity to:

• Develop a shared analytical approach to self-evaluation and improvement
• Further develop our aspirations and achievement in maths, science and IT
• Work alongside a supportive governing body on strategic development and action planning for the long term benefit of the school
• Develop effective communication methods for the 21st century

Further develop the creative approach, core values and nurturing which have already been identified as our strengths. We welcome your ability to challenge educational orthodoxy.

Visits to the school are welcome. Please contact Mrs Jo Alexander, our school administrator, on 01373 462251 to arrange an appointment.
