What skills and experience we're looking for
ARE you ‘hungry, humble and smart’?
Are you perhaps looking to be a headteacher in the next five years or so?
If so, you will want to learn your trade with one of the most effective and highest performing school leadership teams in the South West.
At Lipson, we pride ourselves on providing an environment where students are happy and love coming to school, but are also successful, as well as one in which staff are valued and cherished, but also challenged to continually improve themselves as teachers.
If you want to join us in a school that aims to be truly great, you will need to share our passion for wanting to improve the life chances of the children who live within the community we serve.
You will need to be relentless, positive and kind, and lead in a way that will make a genuine difference to those around you.
If you join us, you would be entering an environment of mutual trust and respect, alongside other brilliant leaders, where egos are left at the door and everyone can thrive in their own and the collective space.
We would strongly encourage a visit to the school – or, at the very least, a virtual conversation – in order to explore the potential of this opportunity and gain a better understanding of what makes Lipson such a special place to work.
We look forward to hearing from you.
