Headteacher job summary
The Botteford Primary CE School is set in beautiful grounds at the heart of the community it serves. The school is shaped by a shared vision that brings together staff, pupils, families, and governors to build a place where children love to learn, grow in confidence, and develop into responsible, compassionate citizens. This collective ambition creates a warm, purposeful environment where every child is encouraged to become their best self - academically, socially, and spiritually. The school’s motto, “Growing Hearts and Growing Minds,” captures this balance beautifully.
The school is part of Learn Academies Trust, a thriving Multi-Academy Trust, founded in 2016, and now a proud family of 19 Church of England and Community Primary Schools across Leicestershire, including Leicester City. Our Church schools are part of the wider Diocese of Leicester network of 97 schools and academies, giving us access to a strong, collaborative community and shared expertise.
Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome and respect children and families of all faiths and none, ensuring every child feels valued, supported, and able to flourish. We believe in the transformative power of education. Guided by our vision and values, we work in courageous fellowship to pursue our core aims of equity, well-being, and excellence, relentlessly striving to provide the very best opportunities for every learner and every member of staff.
