What skills and experience we're looking for
On behalf of all members of the school community, thank you for your interest in the post of headteacher at Bubwith Community Primary School. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a high achieving rural primary school at the heart of a thriving village. Our aim at Bubwith CPS is for all children to develop their talents, reach their potential and be safe and happy during their time with us. We are immensely proud of providing a curriculum and learning environment where children thrive and develop a love of learning. The September 2024 Ofsted report was good in all areas. It stated that: ‘Pupils at Bubwith Community Primary School are happy. The school has high expectations for what pupils learn. This is realised and reflected in the school’s national tests and assessments. Pupils behave well in lessons and across the school. At breaktimes, pupils get on well together. Pupils know that the adults in the school will help them if they have any worries.’ Due to the resignation of the current headteacher, who is looking to follow a new career path, the school will be led by an interim headteacher in the spring term.
The governing body is looking to appoint a new substantive headteacher for the start of the summer term 2025. The successful candidate will:
Be a creative, reflective and inspirational leader who has children’s learning and emotional well being at the heart of every decision
Have the skills to lead, value, develop and manage a highly effective team with professionalism and respect, strongly supporting the development of skilled subject leaders
Maintain high levels of behaviour and respect for others
Continue our culture of high expectations of attainment and progress, initially focusing on improving writing across the school, extending the EYFs and KS1 outdoor learning provision and developing effective progression and assessment in the non-core curriculum
Act as a role model as an outstanding practitioner, having an expected teaching commitment of up to 0.3 according to the needs of the school
Be committed to providing a broad and balanced curriculum that stimulates a love of learning, encourages the development of individual talents, makes links to the world of work and introduces pupils to local, national and global issues
Be approachable, building excellent relationships with children, staff, parents, governors and the wider community, publicising and celebrating the school’s successes and engaging with the interests and needs of local families so that the school has a sustainable future
Promote extra-curricular provision and enrichment activities, including the development of the school grounds
We hope that these pages and our school website will give you all the information you need about this rewarding and challenging position. If you feel that you have the necessary attributes and are enthusiastic about joining us, then I encourage you to visit the school to see the staff and children at work on one of the times specified in the timetable. Please contact Lisa Baxter, our School Business Manager to arrange this at bubwith.primary@eastrding.gov.uk, or telephone 01757 288261.
Thank you again for your interest in Bubwith Community Primary School.
