Didsbury CE is a well-established faith school, located in the heart of the historic urban village of Didsbury, Manchester.

Didsbury CE is a Group 2 mixed primary school of 236 pupils (including nursery), ranging from 3 – 11 years of age. The school was last inspected by OFSTED in November 2008 and was judged to be outstanding. In recent Sunday Times rankings the school has featured as one of the top performing schools in England. In January 2019 the school received a SIAMS inspection and was judged to be excellent.
To lead the school on its continuing journey we are seeking a dynamic and innovative leader with experience of school improvement. The Head of School will be expected to work collaboratively with the CEO and the other Heads of School across the Trust.
