What skills and experience we're looking for

Federated since July 2016, Holt House Infant and Carterknowle Junior Schools are happy, caring and inclusive schools, committed to providing our children with the best quality education. Both are city schools, positioned next to one another in a wooded setting, with well-resourced and inspiring learning environments.

Our vision is to nurture a caring community in which every child is safe and learns well. We have high expectations and aspirations for all our children, creating warm and friendly learning atmosphere in which children display excellent attitudes and behaviour while achieving, through a rich and varied curriculum, the best possible education.

We are looking for a passionate and approachable headteacher who will work across both schools and:

• maintain and continually develop the strong relationships we have with children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community
• promote the work of the school and work strategically alongside colleagues and governors

• a highly engaged and supportive community of parents and carers who share our ambitions to secure the very best outcomes for their children

Flexible working opportunities
