Unique opportunity for an outstanding school leader

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, and inspiring school leader to lead our school in Bentley Heath, Solihull. We are seeking to appoint a person who is able to develop and lead a strong Christian vision and who fully understands the Christian distinctiveness of a Church of England school. We are therefore looking for a headteacher who will actively support and promote our Christian ethos in every aspect of school life.

We believe that success is found in who you are as well as what you do. We aim to provide an outstanding education, supported by excellent pastoral care and high standards of behaviour, set within a distinctive Christian ethos. We want to equip our pupils with academic achievement, experiences, and personal attributes to enable them to succeed in the next stage of their education. Bentley Heath Church of England Primary School is a welcoming and friendly Christian school for the whole community.

By admitting children on the basis of the proximity of their home to the school, the school is fully inclusive and welcomes children and families of all faiths and none.

The school is set in a semi-rural location and is fortunate to enjoy extensive grounds including playing fields, a large conservation area and a Peace Garden. The school believes in ‘building happiness and success’ for all of our pupils’ which is reflected in our school values. Thankfulness, compassion, truthfulness, perseverance and forgiveness are

examples of these values and together they help to give our pupils a sense of stability and belonging. The strong sense of community within the school nurtures our children and results in above average academic attainment. The school also has a strong sporting tradition. We enjoy excellent links with our local secondary school, Arden, which enables us to work in partnership to provide a smooth transition from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3.

Closing Date: 2 July 2021, 12midday

Interviews are provisionally scheduled for Monday 12th July 2021.

The Council is a fantastic place to work. You will find an organisation that is both challenging and supportive; with a leadership impatiently adventurous in its pursuit of excellence. 

There is a clear vision which is ensuring that the Council is working for communities today and building for tomorrow, we focus our resources on five key priorities:

  • A Prosperous Birmingham: through a focus on inclusive economic growth, tackling unemployment, attracting inward investment, and maximising the benefits of the Commonwealth Games.
  • An Inclusive Birmingham: through a focus on tackling poverty and inequality, empowering citizens, promoting diversity and civic pride, and supporting and enabling all children and young people to thrive.
  • A Safe Birmingham: through a focus on making the city safer, safeguarding vulnerable citizens, increasing affordable housing, and tackling homelessness.
  • A Healthy Birmingham: through a focus on tackling health inequalities, encouraging physical activity and healthy living, supporting mental health, and improving outcomes for adults with disabilities and older people.
  • A Green Birmingham: through a focus on street cleanliness, improving air quality, continuing the route to net zero, and becoming a city of nature.

We see the Council’s role as providing strategic leadership – that’s being able to visualise a new future for the city and equipping others to share our vision. We want to ensure the provision of services for all, so we can support those least able to support themselves by working with partners and putting citizens and neighbourhoods at the heart of our decision-making.

We are always looking for people who put the customer at the centre of their approach, with a commitment to excellence to help us achieve our vision.  We will support you to develop and thrive in your role, building a pathway for long-term success, with lots of development opportunities, such as apprenticeships.

In return, we offer you excellent terms and conditions, generous annual leave, a great pension scheme, well-being support, annual travel passes and discounts at a number of city centre establishments.
