You will be able to lead, motivate, develop, and inspire a school team of staff and governors who are passionately committed to giving pupils a wide range of real-life and enriching experiences, within a culture of highest expectations.

We are looking for a Headteacher who has a passion for inclusion and supporting the needs of children who have a special need. We are looking for someone who can see the potential and strengths in all children.

A commitment to well-being and mental health is essential.
