What skills and experience we're looking for

Due to the retirement of the current headteacher in April/July 2023, the Governors are looking to appoint an inspirational and dedicated headteacher to lead the school.

Harborne Primary School is a four form entry primary school based across two sites.

This is a larger than average school, but still maintains a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment and the feel of a village school. We are looking for a headteacher who recognises and is committed to further develop this unique quality across the whole school.

The school is a place where “Happy Pupils Succeed” and attainment is balanced alongside wider skills, developing well-rounded children, equipped to thrive. We have a brilliant and cohesive staff team and a very supportive community around the school.

This is a high-achieving school, with results generally above those in Birmingham and nationally. We value every child.

More than anything, we are looking for someone who can drive high attainment alongside developing the children as people, and be able to inspire and secure the confidence of the pupils, staff and parents.

We are an outstanding school serving a diverse community and our parents have high expectations Therefore we wish to appoint someone who can drive inclusion across the whole school and provide great leadership for the staff team.

We are looking for an experienced candidate who may be ready for a new challenge: an existing headteacher or an established deputy headteacher looking to progress their career.

Whichever you are, Harborne Primary School needs a leader who has the drive, enthusiasm and vision to work closely with staff and the governing body to make an impact on the whole community. We warmly encourage you to visit the school to see our pupils involved in their learning and the nurturing environment the school provides.
