What the school offers its staff
At Harrowby, we are extremely proud of our creative and vibrant curriculum which puts children at its heart and fosters a love of learning and support for each other, underpinned by our Church School values of Honesty, Empathy, Aspiration, Respect and Trust.
We believe that childhood should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in a child’s life and our curriculum promotes curiosity, exploration and collaboration, to excite and sustain children’s interest and encourage a thirst for knowledge.
We are looking to appoint a dynamic, and skilled Head of School starting in January 2025. In this role, you will have overall responsibility for the leadership, management, and daily operations of the school, working closely with the Executive Headteacher to foster a creative, positive, successful, and ambitious school.
You will join a very ambitious and forward-thinking organisation, so we are seeking outstanding candidates who want to develop themselves to support our educational vision, provide strong leadership and effective support to ensure all pupils and staff meet their potential.
Continuing to teach part time is an important aspect of the Head of School role at Harrowby and you will be able to demonstrate inspirational practice in this area.
We are on a very exciting journey and are looking forward to having the right candidate join our family, where we strive to empower our pupils and help them to realise their potential! We look forward to hearing from you.
