What skills and experience we're looking for

It is very important that the person we appoint is committed to our values of inclusivity, nurture and supporting all children to become avid readers.

Our new headteacher will be:

  • Highly inclusive and ambitious for all children. Committed to supporting families.
  • Committed to recruiting, retaining and developing a talented and diverse team.
  • An excellent communicator, who develops positive relationships with all stakeholders.

The context of our school is not without its challenges. The cost of living crisis has hit some of our families hard, and as a school we work hard to mitigate the impact of social disadvantage. We do not see any of these barriers as excuses however, we see them as reasons for us to do even better.

Our substantive Headteacher left the school in February to pursue an exciting new role. In the interim, the school is being supported by the Headteacher of a local academy who is acting as Interim Executive Headteacher, with the substantive Deputy Headteachers acting as Heads of School.

  • Focus on holistic education, where children are supported to develop themselves. Highly motivated and talented team of staff.
  • Delightful children who want to learn.
  • A well-sized and resourced building, in ample grounds. A positive budgetary position.
