What skills and experience we're looking for
Our Head of School will support the Executive Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team in the creation and implementation of distinctly Christian vision. They will embed the Trust and
School visions into every area of the role and will challenge and support others in achieving the same.
Our Head of School will promote the need for pupils to actively engage in Excellence, Exploration and Encouragement and support LAAT’s belief that all children need to
flourish in a creative environment that allows them to become all that God intended.
In our Trust, a Head of School provides professional leadership and is responsible for the efficient day to day management of the School as part of LAAT, leading the school community in
promoting positive attitudes to learning throughout the whole community.
The Head of School will work collaboratively as part of the wider Trust, with the understanding that it is one organisation working in partnership to achieve the best outcomes for all pupils.
The postholder may be required to work in any of the Trust schools as directed by the Deputy Chief Executive and in consultation with the Executive Headteacher.
What the school offers its staff
Weston St Mary is a small school with a big heart. We are seeking to appoint a talented and dynamic Head of School at Weston St Mary from the start of the 2024-25 academic year. As well as having day-to-day oversight of the leadership and management of the school, you will also work closely, with the support of the Executive Headteacher, to develop an exciting, happy, successful and creative school.
You will be joining 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 colleagues and raise standards for our pupils.
Weston St Mary has a very strong relationship with its nearby neighbour, Whaplode C of E Primary School, and the school shares an Executive Headteacher. You will be part of a strong and supportive Senior Leadership Team who work closely together across the two schools.
This would be an excellent opportunity for an ambitious existing Senior Leader to work alongside our Executive Headteacher to develop excellent leadership skills and to further their career development.
Continuing to teach part time is an important aspect of the Head of School role
at Weston St Mary and you will be able to demonstrate inspirational practice in
this area. A strength in Maths would
also be an advantage as you will also have an opportunity to lead a subject
across the two schools.
Commitment to safeguarding
The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will require the successful applicant to undertake an enhanced criminal record check via the DBS.
In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023, please be advised that if shortlisted, we'll carry out internet searches to support our commitment to safer recruitment. Please note that the purpose of this is to identify any incidents/issues that have happened, and are publicly available online, which the school might want to explore with applicants at interview.
