What skills and experience we're looking for
Our Opportunity:
Kirby Hill CofE Primary School is a medium-sized rural school with 119 students and an additional 28 in nursery. Located in a small village with a population of around 600 on the outskirts of a small town with a population of about 3,000, the school is a valued part of the community. The school has a new building from the 2000s and generous grounds for outdoor activities. It is next to a CofE Church dating back to late Saxon/Early Norman times. The school offers significant outdoor space for sports and Forest School and has beautiful views of the Vale of York and the North York Moors.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced senior leader to lead our school and build upon the successes of our outgoing Headteacher. You will join a school which excels in the quality of education, safeguarding, culture and ethos, and maintains a positive reputation. This has been recognised and has been judged “good” by Ofsted and SIAMS.
About You:
The Governors are looking for a visionary and principled Headteacher or aspiring Deputy Headteacher with a passion for promoting excellence for all pupils’ achievement and holistic development. You will have the ability to deliver positive outcomes for all pupils, regardless of faith, background or ability, with particular experience of working effectively with pupils with SEND.
The Headship of a village Church school is unique: you have the benefit of getting to know a tight-knit and caring community and personally build relationships with each child, yet the role is diverse and requires a balanced skill-set and practical adaptability from the Head as well as forming strong relationships with the Diocese and local community. The ability to balance multiple priorities and provide strategic direction through your vibrant leadership will be a key skillset, along with our key competencies outlined in our person specification.
What the school offers its staff
- A happy and friendly school, with wonderful children who respect each other and have a thirst for learning.
- A culture which allows all staff to thrive and develop.
- Significant levels of support from the Local Authority, Diocese, Governing Board and a staff team who are experienced, committed and passionate about our school.
- A Governing Body committed to providing ongoing support and challenge.
- The school is part of a Cluster where the Headteachers meet regularly. This provides a support network for sharing ideas and best practice.
