- Is a strategic thinker with the ability and knowledge to maintain and enhance our high standards in the ever changing world of education;
- Is able to lead, empower and motivate colleagues and children and can demonstrate proven leadership experience;
- Will support and develop our valued Christian ethos;
- Has high expectations of themselves and a capacity to develop further in leadership; and,
- Recognises the many facets of school management today including pre-school provision, extended services, and the wider community of the school.
- Will ensure strong financial management and governance in order to operate effectively and deliver high quality teaching and learning;
In return, the Deanery will offer you:
- A professional challenge and an opportunity to grow the great work of the school;
- A strong team of dedicated staff;
- The Governors’ commitment to support you and your professional development;
- A vibrant and caring Christian community; and,
- Not least, fantastic children.
