Ham Dingle Primary School is part of United Learning, a successful national group of academies and independent schools. Our schools share a mission to bring out ‘the best in everyone’ and to improve the life chances of the children and young people in their care.

Our developing West Midlands cluster comprises Timbertree Academy, Corngreaves and Ham Dingle Primary Schools, with all three being led by an Executive Headteacher. Our cluster model enables high quality, bespoke school improvement and wider opportunities for both staff and students to work collaboratively.

Ham Dingle Primary School is a happy, lively, forward thinking school that secures good outcomes for its pupils, by offering the very best education, care and services to its children and families.

This is an excellent opportunity for a leader looking to combine the running of their own school with the benefit of working closely with an Executive Headteacher as well as within a developing cluster and as part of a national group.  United Learning prioritises collaboration, values shared practice and provides high-quality professional development.

As Head of School, you will demonstrate a clear commitment to the school and its communities. You will model outstanding leadership and set high expectations for pupils and staff. Your professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm for education will be evident each and every day, in all that you do.

United Learning values diversity and inclusion and is committed to creating and sustaining a more ethnically diverse workforce.  In this regard we would not only welcome applications from professionals of minority ethnic origin, but from majority ethnic professionals who share our commitment. 

If you are looking for an exciting and highly rewarding role within a Group that offers excellent professional development, and if you have a strong commitment to improving the lives of all young people, we encourage you to visit us.
