Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to develop your school leadership skills?

The governors of Loxley CofE Primary School, near Stratford upon Avon, are looking for a committed and motivated leader to build on the strong foundations put in place by the outgoing Head. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to progress in their school leadership career. We have recently had a Section 5 Ofsted inspection (June 2024) and were graded ‘Good’ across all areas (Early Years was not graded due to pupil numbers). The inspector commented that, ‘Loxley CofE Primary School is like one big family’.

From our website:

Officially the smallest primary school in Warwickshire, our dedicated staff are privileged to be able to truly cater for all our children as unique and precious individuals. Through fun and memorable learning experiences, offered within a safe and happy environment, our children are empowered to flourish in every way possible. Our inclusive ethos is firmly rooted in Christian values and we work in close partnership with our local church to equip our children with essential values for life, whatever their faith or background.

We are looking for a leader who is:

• Able to lead on, and commit to, our Christian ethos and values
• An outstanding Primary practitioner, able to lead on an exciting, inclusive and broad curriculum
• Dedicated to ensuring children can flourish in our unique, small school setting
• Able to lead an inclusive and harmonious learning community

In return, we can offer:

• The opportunity to continue to move the school forwards, building on our recent successful Ofsted inspection
• A governing body (federated with Snitterfield Primary School) that will support your journey in leadership
• Children who are full of fun, eager to learn and who embody the school’s family ethos and Christian values
• The opportunity to work in a small school with big ambitions, where staff know all children well, and where children receive great support to enable them to flourish
• The chance to build on our Christian ethos and values
