What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you a motivated and inspirational leader who is seeking their next challenge? Do you hold a passionate desire for every child to flourish and achieve their very best in their academic, social, physical, and spiritual development?
Following the announcement of the current Headteacher’s decision to retire after 21 very successful years, leaving the school well placed for the next stages in its development, the governors are looking to appoint a new Headteacher to drive continuous improvement.
Our ideal candidate will provide dynamic and strategic leadership ensuring high standards of education, personal development, and well-being for all, placing the Christian ethos and values at the heart of school life. The Headteacher will work closely with the governing body, staff, parents and our local parish church and Diocese to ensure faith, learning and pastoral care flourish together.
