Headteacher

Wood Ley School is a vibrant and friendly place to work, where the needs of the children are pivotal. Children enjoy learning in our stimulating school environment. We have a good team spirit where everyone is supportive.

The governors invite applications for the post of headteacher, following the retirement of the current headteacher at the end of this academic year.

This is an exciting opportunity for a strong and inspirational leader with the drive and enthusiasm to further develop our 'good' school to become 'outstanding'.

We are looking for a headteacher who will:

• have the vision to promote the highest standards of teaching, learning, pupil achievement and behaviour
• be genuinely interested in a diverse range of children and provide first-class opportunities for them all to achieve high standards
• demonstrate excellent strategic planning and sound financial management
• show instinctive, sound judgement, especially under pressure
• enthusiastically encourage parents and carers to work in partnership with the school and to engage in their children's learning
• continue to support and further cultivate a team-working approach throughout the school
• have a good sense of humour
• work in collaboration with other schools and continue strong relationships with the local and wider community.

You will be a strategic thinker and an exceptional leader; enthusiastic with a clear vision of how to take our school forward from its strong position.
