The Governors of the Federation of St. Edmund’s and St. Patrick’s RC Primary Schools wish to appoint an inspirational leader with the values, knowledge and skills to lead our two caring and nurturing schools.
Following the imminent retirement of our Executive Headteacher this coming summer, this is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop two strong schools which are situated in North Manchester. The schools are within easy travelling distance from each other and share many characteristics, such as our inclusive ethos, a close working relationship and similarity in both opportunity and challenges. Governors, children, staff, and parents are very proud of our two schools which are welcoming and happy places to grow and learn. We are committed to the belief that everyone is treated with fairness, justice, compassion and love, and ensure all pupils have the opportunity for a high-quality education in a spiritual environment.
