Laycock is ready for the challenge of change. We believe that we have a lot of untapped potential and need a strong, energetic and inspirational Headteacher to recognise what makes us special.
We are at the heart of the exciting borough of Islington, have an incredibly diverse and vibrant community and a unique 68-place resource base for deaf children which is one of the largest of its kind at a primary level in England. This richness brings challenges, opportunities and a chance for a leader with knowledge, vision and passion to reshape Laycock’s future.
We are looking for a leader who is:
• Visionary – inspiring, full of ideas, energetic, engaging, passionate
• Inspiring – nurtures relationships, empowers staff and pupils and is able to get the best out of everyone
• Fair and fearless – rewards hard work, challenges under-performance and poor behaviour
• Courageous – challenges the norm, with the willpower and patience to see things through
• Resilient – tenacious, remains calm in a crisis and brings positivity and sensitivity
• Astute - passionate educator with a strong business head
If you relish the challenge and have the leadership qualities and vision to re-establish the ambition for the school, we will welcome your application.
