Welcome 



Dear Applicant,

Allow me to extend a warm welcome from all Governors, staff and children of Newby & Scalby Primary School and the Coast and Vale Learning Trust. I am delighted you have shown interest in joining us and I look forward to sharing with you what makes our school a very special place to work.

The vacancy has arisen as a result of the previous Headteacher becoming the Primary Executive Lead of the Coast and Vale Learning Trust and we are seeking to employ someone who can further develop outcomes within the school whilst enabling staff and students to thrive.

Our children are delightful, happy, confident and energetic. They are passionate about their learning, be it in the classroom or through other areas of our curriculum such as outdoor experiences and work related to their personal, social and health education.

Over many years we have built a learning community that puts the whole child and their development, along with harnessing the skills of our staff, at our very heart. You will be joining a school with low staff turnover and high staff retention and as Headteacher it will be your job to make sure that colleagues continue to be supported and challenged to be lifelong learners.

Staff tell us that working at Newby & Scalby is incredibly rewarding. We have a well-deserved reputation across the area for placing huge importance on developing talent – and in many ways our ‘research school’ ethos has resulted in many staff developing their own, bespoke CPD package in addition to the school led offer. We hope that the successful candidate will get an incredible buzz from seeing our children reach their full potential as a result of our focus on staff training and development.

This is an exciting time to join us. As the founding primary member of the Coast and Vale Learning Trust (along with Scalby School) our team are working in partnership with our sister school Friarage Community Primary School to share, learn and create a primary hub our area can be proud of. Through our Trust we are able to access the support and resources from our Teaching School, which means as a staff member you have a wide range of colleagues, tools and resources to help you develop not just in our school, but beyond.

I hope that you will take the time to come and experience for yourself the warm and welcoming atmosphere which makes our vision a reality.

For an informal, confidential conversation about the role please call Julie Crichton on 07581143421 or email julie.crichton@northyorks.gov.uk. Julie has been engaged to support us with recruitment to this key role.

Visits to the School are invited; please contact Jane Price on J.Price@ns.coastandvale.academy to make arrangements.

On behalf of the governing body, good luck with your application. I look forward to reading it.

Louise Scott,

Chair of Governors
