What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a leader who:

  • Can drive school development through motivating others, with exceptional leadership and communication skills.
  • Can lead by example.
  • Has a love of teaching and is committed to developing each and every child’s learning journey.
  • Has a flexible attitude to the school as a whole and is prepared to adapt to the needs of a small school.
  • Has a developed understanding of SEND.
  • Is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children.
  • Shows a willingness to develop and build on the success of our school.
  • Is able to support staff and their development in teaching through strong leadership.
  • Enthusiastically supports flexi-schooling and recognises the benefits for children and their families.

What the school offers its staff

Castleton is a beautiful village at the head of the Hope Valley, in the heart of the Peak District National Park - easy travelling distance from Sheffield and Buxton. It is popular for its show caves and is overlooked by Mam Tor hill. 

Our school is unusual in that it offers “flexi-schooling”, i.e., children who are home-educated have the option of enrolling and attending school, typically for 3 days each week. We have a higher-than-average number of SEND pupils.

What we can offer:

  • An ethos of positive learning, where everyone, including pupils, staff and visitors feel respected and valued.
  • Happy, responsible and motivated children who are treated as individuals in a family-like atmosphere.
  • Experienced staff with a can-do attitude, who are dedicated to the children and highly skilled in supporting children with additional needs.
  • A commitment to a continuous dialogue with parents. As a small school this is invaluable.
