Our School Trust is a great place to work and Lifton is a school who needs a Headteacher who will ensure that our disadvantaged learners are privileged through a culture of excellence and expectation.
We are offering a £5,000 relocation package for relocation outside of Devon or Cornwall.
Lifton is a growing community and numbers at the school are increasing. You will need to love the challenge of an old Devon Lady type building and have the vision and passion to ensure the quality of the curriculum and offer enables children to flourish and this must include those pupils who face socio and economic challenges.
Lifton pupils need a Headteacher who has the highest expectations and will accept nothing less for the children. Whilst standards are improving at the school, it can do better. The basics are in place, and it is now time to elevate the offer to the children making Lifton an exceptional school.
If you are passionate about school improvement, curriculum design, privileging the most disadvantaged learners then this is the place for you. It is an exciting school to join and a place where your leadership will make a real difference.

We clear the pathway for Headteachers to focus on the main thing, teaching and learning, by providing a fully centralised business support service which includes finance, HR, Estates, IT etc. We want you to be able to improve education and focus on what you love!
