What skills and experience we're looking for

Our governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Headteacher to this popular primary school in the Oxfordshire town of Carterton.

Edith Moorhouse is a one and a half form entry primary school. Our school is well known for hosting a significant number of children from Service families and proud that the environment we have created means they can settle in rapidly and incur no set-backs due to their mobility.

We can offer you a school that continually seeks new ways to improve the delivery of the curriculum with a skilled, highly committed and motivated staff team. Reach for the stars is the school motto which represents the heart of the school and our desire to always demonstrate aspiration and resilience.

The successful candidate will:

  • Will be well qualified with strong primary experience;

  • Will provide strong, decisive and courageous leadership

  • Have a successful track record in achieving whole school excellence in attainment and progress.

  • Lead in changing circumstances and formulate strategies to deal with them

  • Secure a strong safeguarding culture across the school

  • Be able to collaborate with other River Learning Trust (RLT) personnel and school leaders.

What the school offers its staff

Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.

OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.

OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.

OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.

Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff. For more information on what it is like to work for the Trust, and the benefits you could access, please see our “Working in RLT” guide.

This role includes regulated activity relevant to children.

Commitment to safeguarding

The River Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and preventing extremism. All staff must ensure that the highest priority is given to following the guidance and regulations to safeguard children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. Employment will also be conditional on the receipt of at least two acceptable references (one from current/latest employer) and evidence of the formal qualifications required for the role.
