Further details about the role

We have an exciting opportunity for an inspirational new Headteacher to continue to build upon the excellent learning our nursery and family hub provides to children in the local area. Our last three Ofsted inspections have rated us ‘Outstanding’ in all areas and we are looking for a Headteacher who can not only maintain our very high standards but also build on this success and create a vision for an exciting future. The successful candidate will be working with a friendly and enthusiastic staff team and have the continued support of an equally friendly and committed Governing Body. This is a unique and exciting role for someone with experience of the Early Years sector, looking for an opportunity to lead and to make a real difference. For a candidate with less SLT experience, there is an opportunity for a period of co-headship with the present Headteacher.
