Our school
With the shared involvement of every individual, all Trust schools aspire to be confident, outward-looking communities in which every member:
• enjoys creative, dynamic and reflective learning
• is supported, challenged and equipped for the future
• values and takes responsibility for themselves and others
• relies on and builds supportive and lasting relationships
At Ainderby Steeple, our Christian Vision and values underpin all we do. We provide a happy, kind and caring environment where children can be creative and develop independence. We aim for our children to become responsible citizens who have the resilience to face new challenges both now, and in the future.

The school is entering a new phase with exciting possibilities, in the context of an increasing roll, and the ongoing development of the Pre-school and Early Years provision. We share a desire for the school and its leaders to play a full role in the further growth of the Trust, in excellence and reputation as well as potentially in size. For this reason we are looking for a candidate who can provide evidence of exercising leadership in making educational vision a reality, and who will join our community of outstanding mutually-supportive strategically minded practitioners, committed to the Trust’s ethos and ready to continue their own professional development.
We are looking for a proven leader who will be:
• somebody who will actively live out and embed the Christian Vision and core Christian values of the school.
• a dynamic leader who can inspire, support and develop the talents of pupils and staff within a vibrant community of learners.
• relentless in their pursuit of the best outcomes for all.
• adept in balancing appropriately the operational and strategic demands of the role.
• experienced in, and committed to, developing and nurturing collaborative partnerships both within the local community and across the wider Trust area.
• committed to the principles of appropriate accountability seen as a framework in which to achieve excellence for all.
• consistently modelling the behaviour expected from staff and pupils.
• passionate in developing a learning experience that genuinely meets the needs of all learners.
• ‘scanning the horizon’ to ensure the curriculum and learning experiences on offer ensures pupils are best prepared for Secondary school.
• a team builder and effective communicator.
• a lifelong learner.
The school / Trust can offer:
• a working environment with a strong sense of community and moral purpose.
• hard working pupils.
• a dedicated staff, committed to achieving the best outcomes for their pupils, through high quality pastoral care and Teaching & Learning.
• a supportive Local Governing Body.
• a wide range of professional development opportunities, within the school’s context and the wider Trust.
• unlimited support for school leaders in their pursuit of excellence.
The skill set we have laid out is both extensive and diverse. Impact in your current role is important but so is your educational vision and philosophy. If you feel you have the right combination of experience and vision we would be very interested to hear from you.
