What skills and experience we're looking for

Due to the retirement of the current Acting Headteacher, the Directors and Governors are looking to appoint a permanent Headteacher from September 2023.

• Work closely with our Academy Council in the assessment, monitoring and evaluation of pupils’ progress, attainment and wellbeing;
• Be a committed member of the Senior Leadership Team of our Trust; and,
• Work collaboratively with the Trust team, as well as local and Diocesan heads, to ensure high standards of attainment, and to sustain and develop the school’s Catholic Ethos.

What the school offers its staff

• Children who are enthusiastic, confident, and endlessly curious;

• Staff who have high standards and expectations for all students, who are looking for clear direction, critical friendship and support;
• Supportive Governors who are aspirational for the school;
• A thriving and caring Parish community that works in support of the school’s mission; and,
