What skills and experience we're looking for

Due to the retirement of our current Head we have an exciting opportunity for a current headteacher looking to broaden their experience, or an experienced deputy or assistant head wishing to develop their leadership skills further.

The governors, pupils and staff at Cumberworth are looking to appoint a highly motivated and energetic individual into this leadership role who has a desire to lead a First school that sits at the heart of our community. A leader who is passionate in driving the growth and development of our happy and welcoming school. We would like a headteacher who is compassionate and caring.

You will have a demonstrable record of organisational skills and good practice within the classroom environment having the ability to forge strong relationships with pupils, parents, local schools and community networks will be a key requirement.

If you have the very highest standards and expectations for yourself and the pupils and staff around you, a passion for learning and for nurturing children so that they achieve their full potential then our school is the right one for you.
