The Wells Free School in Tunbridge Wells is looking for a new Head Teacher to lead the school on the next stage of its exciting journey.
Established in 2013, we moved into our new premises in September 2016; a purpose built school with brand new facilities and a huge opportunity to create a unique learning environment for the children of Tunbridge Wells.
First inspected while located in our temporary accommodation in 2015, we are delighted to have maintained our Good Ofsted rating following our inspection in June 2019.
We are seeking a Head Teacher to lead our established and dedicated team of teaching and support staff to take us onwards and upwards, with clear values and moral purpose to promote and build upon the founding values of school.
