Head of School job summary

Stoke Climsland School is looking for a Head of School to join our friendly and motivated staff team. We are a small but vibrant community school, with enthusiastic children and a supportive network of families and community links. We work closely with our partner school, Calstock, in an active federation and are always keen to explore new ideas that help our children grow and flourish.

Our federation is driven by a wholly inclusive and child-centred approach to provision. We believe that all aspects of a child’s experience at Calstock and Stoke Climsland are connected and that their education is defined by a sense of purpose and engagement. Thus, our formal and informal curriculum, our culture, is rooted in learning experiences which provide wonderment, excitement, knowledge and life-long skills.

• can make a positive contribution to continuous school improvement, embracing change as opportunity
• can offer both support and challenge to staff, and engage effectively with parents and carers

In return we can offer you:

• a happy, welcoming environment where children and staff enjoy coming to school
• a supportive governing body and staff team
