What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a resilient, kind, caring and inspirational Headteacher for this wonderful school, which is highly ambitious for its pupils, ensuring they ‘make remarkable change happen’.

You will be required to develop a clear vision for the school and what will set you apart will be your commitment to achieving high standards of teaching and learning and your passion for improving outcomes for students with SEND.
