Further details about the role
Our highly regarded Headteacher retired in December 2023, which whilst an adjustment for our whole school community, now allows opportunity for growth and to build on all the positive developments made so far. As our new leader, you will need to embrace all that it means to be an “Abbeyhillian”. You will need to be inspirational, collaborative, creative in new ideas as well as care deeply that every child is able to reach their full potential.
We are the newest member school of Transform Trust having joined in April 2024 and we believe this to be an excellent opportunity for a senior leader with passion and enthusiasm to enable others on our journey to success. Being part of Transform Trust allows even greater opportunities for professional development and support.
Abbey Hill Primary and Nursery School is a busy, friendly school which thrives on the excellent relationships we have across our whole school community. In April 2023 we were Ofsted-rated Good. We have 74% pupil premium children and a high number of children with additional needs, so a background of leading in similar settings would be advantageous. The successful candidate will enjoy a dedicated workforce, enthusiastic children, a committed governing body and a supportive Trust.
If you are a leader that is aspirational and collaborative and can motivate all within the school community we would love to hear from you.

Abbey Hill is an Ofsted-Rated GOOD school; we are “A gem of a school!”
Here at Abbey Hill, we take pride in being Abbeyhillians. Abbeyhillians is our identity and, as Abbeyhillians, we all belong here at Abbey Hill. We pride ourselves on enriching the curriculum with opportunity. We call this our Abbeyhillian Factor.
We are proud of our busy, friendly school and of the children and families who make up our Abbeyhillian community. It is our aim to make sure children are cared for, nurtured and respected and to be a school where each and every child can learn, grow and be happy. We believe that everyone in school should enjoy their learning and feel proud of their achievements.
We want to prepare our Abbeyhillians for life in the ever changing world we live in so they can make a positive contribution to society and live happy and full lives, whatever they choose to be.
At Abbey Hill we want to make sure children are in the right place socially and emotionally so they are ready to concentrate and learn every day. Our curriculum starts with children learning about themselves, their lives and their family and broadens out to learning about the local community, the country and the wider world. Learning projects go further back in time as children move through the school, with Y6 learning about the most ancient civilizations and ideas.
As a school community we believe that children learn and grow when everyone comes together – children, parents, staff, governors and the local community. We really value the relationship we have with our parents and the way they support their children.
