What skills and experience we're looking for
What inspired you became a teacher? If it was a desire to make learning fun, stimulate young curiosity and help children follow their dreams, then we may have the perfect opportunity for you.
We are looking for an exceptional and inspiring Headteacher to lead Naphill and Walters Ash Primary School, an integral part of our local community. RAF High Wycombe is based in the village meaning a proportion of the school’s children are from services families.
Our ideal candidate possesses a genuine passion for educating and inspiring young children and is happy to innovate and empower fellow teachers to do the same.
At Naphill and Walters Ash, our 5Rs: being responsible, resourceful, reflective, resilient and learn to reason, underpin the leaders’ aspirations for pupil’s behaviour and learning. These values shape everything you’ll do to help us create a school where everyone can thrive. We believe that while we achieve great things as a team, each child and member of staff should also be supported to develop their independence, confidence and unique strengths.
This role is ideal for an exceptional teacher who has experience of leading schools either already as a Head or as an Assistant or Deputy Head and is ready for the next step in their career. You will be supported by an outstanding team. There will be opportunities for mentorship, leadership development, and guidance in a supportive and secure environment.
We believe that as Headteacher you should focus on what really matters - leading teaching and learning. We have very active Governors and support staff who can help you with this.
Your primary focus will be to maintain the school’s own clear identity and secure outstanding outcomes for all pupils. We are looking for a passionate leader and skilled communicator who can articulate and deliver their aspirational vision for our children and their families. Someone who has the curiosity to look for a new way to do things, is prepared to dig deep, show resilience and demonstrate the courage to drive ideas forward.
Our ethos is a nurturing one; we put the wellbeing of our children, parents and staff at the centre of this. We passionately believe that happy children learn, happy staff thrive and happy people build a community.
