Headteacher

Do you want to lead in making the following projected Ofsted statement a reality?

“St Joseph’s is an outstanding school, led by a highly effective headteacher, [insert your own name here!], delivering outstanding outcomes for children”

Do you want to lead a school which is passionate about giving children the right start in life? Do you want to share your outstanding ideas, ambition and drive for excellence to take this school to the next level?

We seek to appoint a practising Catholic, with:

• A deep interest in and commitment to excellent learning and teaching
• A delight in seeing children progress and staff develop
• A commitment to engage our parish, local community and all families
• Ability and enthusiasm to inspire and lead our school to ‘good’ and onwards to ‘outstanding’.

We offer:

• A beautiful school site on the Malvern Hills with extensive Forest School
• A small, friendly school with a caring and inclusive Catholic ethos. This is a “happy and harmonious environment” (OfSTED 2013)
• An enthusiastic, dedicated, strong and supportive team of staff and governors
• Learners who are “polite and well-mannered and behave well” and families who value the school (OfSTED 2013)
• Good opportunities for collaboration, both locally and across the Diocese
• A town location listed among Sunday Times ‘best places to live’ in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, highly accessible from national motorway and rail links.
