The Governing Board are excited to recruit an enthusiastic and outward looking leader to build on our successes and move our schools forward on the next stage of our journey.
As Headteacher of two small schools the successful candidate will have the opportunity to lead a small but dedicated staff, working in partnership with our engaged and enthusiastic Governors and supportive community.
The Headteacher will maintain a teaching commitment of one hour per day plus some supply cover as required.
Our children are at the heart of everything we do, and we are very proud of the way our schools work with our families to support their learning and development. We are looking to appoint a Headteacher to add to the strength that already exists, someone who is excited to mould and shape the future of our schools without losing our inclusive and collaborative ethos.
Governors are committed to supporting the well being and professional development of all staff, a full programme of bespoke mentoring and leadership development will be available to the new Headteacher.
Visits to the school by arrangement are warmly welcomed – please contact us on 01773 717647.
