Dear applicant,
Allow me to extend a warm welcome from the children, staff and Governors at Northstead Community Primary School.
I was delighted to be appointed Headteacher in September 2017 and while any Head will say their school is special – I truly believe Northstead is.
We are a large three form entry primary school and over the last five years we have built on our ‘good’ Ofsted inspection in 2016 and become a school where every child’s needs are met.
For any new teacher or support professional joining us you will be given the tools, support, and encouragement to thrive in our inclusive school. With 632 children on roll we believe in distributed leadership and an exciting curriculum that helps creates that sense of awe and excitement in our children – I still enjoy every day seeing the children running to school excited for the school day.
Our pastoral approach is highly regarded amongst our schools and our community who see that it is our belief that every child is special – and it is our job to bring their talents to the fore!
I hope you can see that this is an excellent time to join Northstead. If successful you will join a staff team of wonderful professionals who have ambition for our children and for themselves. I take pride in ensuring colleagues receive opportunities to develop their skills and experiences – and we have an enviable reputation for delivering high quality professional development.
I hope that you will take the time to come and see and experience for yourself the warm and welcoming atmosphere which makes our vision a reality.
Good luck with your application.
Jim Lidgley (Headteacher)
