• A Governing Body committed to providing support on all matters including more sensitive or difficult issues and including the wellbeing of all staff members.
• Support from other schools in our cluster where the Headteachers meet regularly. This provides a support network for sharing ideas and best practice.

Further details about the role

This is an excellent opportunity for an inspiring leader to lead, shape and further develop our wonderful school.

You will be working alongside a dedicated team of staff, and a governing body who are ambitious and are looking to work successfully together with the new Headteacher to bring a new buzz for forward-thinking learning to the school.
