Job description :
This is a great opportunity to lead a small village primary school as it settles into being part of a multi-academy trust of primary schools.

Whilst leveraging the support, resources and benefits of academisation, the new Head Teacher will need to maintain the fantastic building blocks of a caring, “family feel” small school, where fairness, respect and thoughtfulness are at the heart of daily life.

Pupils say they are happy and feel safe here. The school values include fairness, respect and thoughtfulness. They shine through. The values are consistently reinforced through the school day and during collective worship. Pupils understand these values and try to use them in their daily lives.”
Areas for development :
• To bring KS1 results in line with the achievements of pupils at KS2.
• To work closely with the SENDCo, on balancing the loving, caring, inclusive approach of the school with ensuring consistent behaviour management strategies are in place in order to further develop a safe and calm learning environment for all pupils

Opportunities for peer-to-peer support and cross-school collaboration ensure the successful candidate has a strong network of support to enable them to achieve the very best for our school. Nb there will be a teaching element with this position.
Langar’s next Head Teacher will be supported in their role by a highly dedicated, experienced and friendly staff team, including an Assistant Headteacher, a supportive Governing Body and by engaged and enthusiastic parents and carers.
The successful candidate will have the support of the highly-effective Assistant Head, who knows the school and community well, this will help to ensure the efficient running of the school to support flexible working.
