The governing body wishes to appoint an inspirational, dynamic and visionary headteacher to lead our popular, well-established and successful primary school.

This collaboration demonstrates our one school rule – “consideration”.

Our new Headteacher should be a strong, approachable, compassionate and supportive leader who is passionate and knowledgeable about the pursuit of teaching and learning within the context of a broad and balanced curriculum and has a love of working with children. The person specification provides a more comprehensive list of the qualities we are looking for, but in essence we wish to appoint somebody with the wisdom, experience and confidence to take the school forward; someone who builds on our current strengths and successes, and ensures we continually improve by embracing the opportunities and challenges which becoming a first-rate primary school offers.
