What skills and experience we're looking for

Do you believe every child deserves the chance to truly SHINE whatever their individual needs?

Could you be the inspiring Assistant Headteacher we’re looking for, one who leads with integrity and purpose?

We want to hear from you if this is the perfect career opportunity.

Creswell Infant and Nursery School is a nurturing and inclusive school located in the heart of an ex-mining community near Bolsover. We currently welcome 192 pupils from Foundation Stage 2 to Year 2, along with a 48-place nursery offering 15-hour provision. Guided by our Christian vision - ‘Together with God, we shine in all we do’ - we are a dedicated team with the ambition of championing every child, where each is celebrated, nurtured, and given the opportunity to shine. Children are at the heart of every decision we make, as we strive to serve better our community with compassion and purpose. Our values run through every part of school life. We encourage all children to LOVE (Live Our Values Everyday), and we are committed to making these early years some of the most exciting years of their life.

We are proud to be recruiting an inspirational professional, someone with a genuine commitment to make a difference to the education experiences of the children at our school. As Assistant Headteacher, you will support the Headteacher by providing professional leadership and upholding our values to support the school’s success and future continuous improvement.

This position also includes the role of Inclusion and Welfare Lead. This is very important to the staff and Governors of Creswell Infant and NurserySchool – we want every child to feel success and to thrive in our school, whatever their individual need or challenge. You will support the Headteacher with the strategic development of SEN policies and provisions in the school, regularly monitoring their effectiveness, while maintaining up-to-date knowledge of national and local initiatives that may affect the school’s practice.
