Headteacher job summary

We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, and inspiring school leader to lead our school in Warton, Tamworth. We are seeking to appoint a person who is able to develop and lead a strong Christian vision and who fully understands the Christian distinctiveness of a Church of England school. We are therefore looking for a headteacher who will actively support and promote our Christian ethos in every aspect of school life.

We begin with the vision and values of BDMAT, believing that success is found in who you are, within a community, as well as what you do. We aim to provide an outstanding education, supported by excellent pastoral care and high standards of behaviour. We want to equip our pupils with academic achievement, experiences, and personal attributes to enable them to succeed in the next stage of their education.

At Warton we are a warm, caring and supportive learning community where everyone is welcome. Our school begins with Nursery (from 2 years old) through to Year 6 and we have around 150 children on roll. We are a Church of England school and our vision, values and core beliefs around education all have our Christian faith at the heart of them.

Belonging to the Birmingham Diocesan Multi Academy Trust (BDMAT), we are firmly aligned with the vision that Clothed in LOVE (Colossians 3:14) we are a united family of schools serving our communities and helping ALL to flourish. For us, this means ensuring that our children thrive academically, socially and spiritually. We work to ensure that they have wide-reaching experiences that make them aware of, and excited by, their local area as well as the wider world around them. We want our children to experience joy and wonder every day and we strive for them to be eager, inquisitive learners who live by our core values every day.

Our school is in the heart of the village of Warton, approximately 6 miles from Tamworth and although our village is small we are growing from being a half form of entry to a full one form entry school with a new building opened in 2026. We aim high. We have a reputation for excellent sporting achievements, varied extra-curricular opportunities and great pastoral and SEND support. We are very proud of the offer we provide for the children in our community.

Visits to the school are very much welcomed and encouraged and can be arranged through the school.

Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust (BDMAT) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We welcome applications from underrepresented groups including ethnicity, gender, transgender, age, disability, sexual orientation or religion. BDMAT is a Disability Confident employer.
