best all-round education for our pupils.
The school focuses on the holistic development of each child, and we expect to treat
everyone with fairness, respect and equality. Each pupil is encouraged to achieve their

encourage their contribution to school life.

seven core Christian values of the school, which are: Wisdom, Trust, Service,
Justice, Compassion, Endurance and Forgiveness
• Be outward looking, and work with other schools in the network to share best
practice.
You may be looking at this opportunity as either your next Headship or your first. Regardless

Headteacher.
We can offer:

learning, and offers them enriching opportunities to discover their unique talents.

respect.
