What the school offers its staff
Shrivenham school is one of eight schools within the Faringdon Academy of Schools; as such, whilst you’ll have substantial autonomy to run and develop the school as you see fit, you’ll also have the support and expertise of the wider Academy, which takes care of some of the more administrative aspects of running a school, leaving you to focus heavily on what really matters – the children’s education and supporting the staff of the school. Of course, you’ll also have a very supportive governing body and Executive Headteacher, willing to invest in your development as a school leader.
