Headteacher job summary

Beeston Fields is ready for its next chapter. Are you the one to write it?

Beeston Fields Flying High Academy is a school that breathes joy, energy and excellence. Recently judged Ofsted Outstanding (2025), we provide a transformative education that reflects the vibrant, diverse community we serve.

To build on our many achievements so far, we are looking for an established, accomplished leader who views our current success as a platform for even greater heights. We’re not looking for a leader to maintain our success; we’re seeking a visionary Headteacher who recognises evolving national policy and frameworks present exciting opportunities to drive further excellence.

You will lead a highly skilled staff team, moving beyond oversight to true professional inspiration - nurturing and fostering an environment where every team member is an expert. By bringing your passion and bold ambition to this role, you will help us redefine what’s possible for our young people through life-changing and transformative learning experiences.

Part of a national success story

Joining Beeston Fields means joining the Flying High Partnership, a Trust consistently ranked among the top multi-academy trusts nationally for pupil progress. This is an incredible opportunity to redefine exactly what is possible in primary education.

In leading a flagship academy within our family of 38 schools, you will bring the capacity and expertise to share knowledge, insight and impact with some of the country’s very best leaders. You’ll have the opportunity to shape innovation and drive system-wide improvement beyond your own school, creating a platform to lead at the very highest level nationally.

Are you ready? If you have the fierce moral purpose and professional hunger to guide this exceptional school forward, we’d love to meet you.
