What skills and experience we're looking for

Due to the internal promotion of the current postholder within our school, we are all looking forward to meeting our newest colleague. The Assistant Headteacher will work with the Headteacher to ensure our children receive the best education possible. We know that our school can only be as good as our staff team.

We are welcoming applications from Teachers or current Leaders who will strive to maintain the golden thread of high expectations which runs through all Preston Primary Academy Trust schools. We are open to applications from Teachers who share this vision; we do not have an ideal expectation of years within teaching for this role. Ideally, the successful candidate would have Year 6 experience or be capable of delivering excellent teaching in this year group.

What the school offers its staff

A considerable reduction in teacher workload has been achieved alongside fantastic results; we strongly believe these two elements work well together. Our school was placed eighth highest in Somerset for KS2 results this year. Our children are respectful and exhibit excellent behaviour. Our most recent Ofsted report stated, “Aspirations for pupils are evident in the school’s values and ambitious curriculum.” We continue to build on this success each day in order that our children leave us as academically curious life-long learners who are confident and thoughtful citizens.

Commitment to safeguarding

Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment.

Our recruitment process follows the keeping children safe in education guidance.

Offers of employment may be subject to the following checks (where relevant):
childcare disqualification
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

online and social media

right to work

You must tell us about any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.
