Malvern Wyche C of E Primary School is seeking an enthusiastic, creative and accomplished leader to join us in taking children on the learning adventure of a lifetime.

 Are you an inspiring leader with excellent classroom practice, high expectations and a proven track-record at securing standards?
 Can you support and motivate staff to reach their potential and be an enabling critical friend to the Headteacher?
 Can you see yourself leading change and improvement in a creative, forward-looking school - ticking all the boxes yet still thinking outside the box?

Nestled on the lower slopes of the Malvern Hills, The Wyche is a delightful place to work. We can offer the successful candidate enthusiastic learners, supportive parents, engaged governors and a friendly, talented staff. The whole community is committed to making the curriculum exciting and purposeful. Our ethos is rooted in personal growth through authentic experiences, independence and mutual respect. As a Voluntary Controlled C of E Church School, we care deeply for our pupil’s spiritual welfare and have a close relationship with St Andrews and All Saints.

Our well-equipped premises have a TV and music studio (with green-screen), a radio station, V-R goggles, and numerous PCs, i-Macs, and i-pads. With views of the Severn Valley to the front and the Malvern Hills as our backyard it is a truly inspiring place to learn.
