Headteacher job summary

All Saints CE Primary School is a thriving, successful two-form entry primary school located on the Ladygrove Park estate to the North of Didcot. The school is vibrant and increasingly diverse, welcoming children of all faiths and of none. We provide a caring and nurturing environment in which children are valued as individuals and partnerships with parents and families are prioritised.

We are looking for an exceptional school leader to join us from September 2025 to lead a talented and committed team of staff, engaged and enthusiastic children and supportive parents and governors, as we continue to grow from strength to strength.

Ridgeway Education Trust is at an exciting time in its development. Two primary schools joined us in the Spring 2024 and another in the Autumn of 2024, taking us to a Trust of eight schools educating around 4,400 children and young people. A mixture of Church of England and non-faith schools, two secondaries and six primary schools, we embrace our diversity whilst recognising the strength of our close geographical proximity. The Trust operates a School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) programme in liaison with the national charity, Teach First, which creates an opportunity for Trust schools to train their own teachers for the future.

We are proud of our school and the children, staff, families and governors who make it so special. This is an exciting opportunity for a leader to join us to guide our ongoing development, building on the strong foundations that are already firmly in place.

If you would like to find out more about this vacancy, or arrange to see All Saints for yourself, please contact Paul Shaughnessy, Director of Primary Education (pshaughnessy@ridgewayeducation.com) for an initial discussion. Applications from candidates interested in flexible models of school leadership – such as co-headship - are welcomed.
