What skills and experience we're looking for
Reignhead is a warm, inclusive and welcoming primary school with our own on-site nursery. This means the majority of our children begin their educational journey with us at three-years-old. Our aim is that every child at Reignhead feels safe, valued and, quite simply, loves coming to school!
We are looking for an inspirational headteacher who, like us, is passionate that all our children achieve their full potential – in their work, attitudes and as good citizens. Our next headteacher will have the resilience and strategic vision to lead the school through a changing education landscape while ensuring the school continues to provide a kind and supportive community for its learners and staff.
Building upon our current success, the appointed candidate will:
- have leadership experience and a proven record of delivering whole-school improvement
- promote the school, engaging with parents, carers and the wider community
- lead an outward-looking school, which values collaboration and seeks opportunities to work with external partners
- lead by example, embracing accountability while setting and
maintaining high standards for all pupils and staff
What the school offers its staff
In return, we can offer:
- a vibrant school environment with engaged and well-behaved children
- a talented and ambitious staff team and a governing body that is committed to your ongoing professional development
We fully embrace new ideas and understand that you will want to make your mark; if this sounds like you, please get in touch.
