We believe that children and staff flourish when they are nurtured and trusted, and we are looking for a collaborative, approachable, and inspiring headteacher to shepherd and lead our excellent staff team in the next phase of our school’s growth and development.
We are looking for a headteacher who will:
- build on the good work already begun
- embody and promote our church school’s ethos and vision
- be approachable, with an open-door policy, working collaboratively with others
