We are looking for someone who can:

The Nurture Nest at Edith Weston Academy is a special provision, funded by Rutland County Council, that provides a full-time alternative provision for children across the county. They will join the Nest for a year before transitioning back to their home school once the intervention is complete.
Although the Nest is a separate provision, it is located within the school and the staff are very much part of our team. At Edith Weston Academy, we want everyone in our team to be passionate about our school. We expect everyone to be committed to making our school the best it can be for the children, willing to go the extra mile every day and be actively involved in all aspects of school life.

Edith Weston Academy sits on the shore of Rutland Water and benefits from large classrooms and hall, extensive grounds and woodland area. We are a small school with small class sizes and a small staff team and looking for a strong and aspirational new Headteacher to lead our school into the future. We strongly believe that every child is an individual and nurture each child to achieve their best.
We enjoy close links with the nearby military base and are proud to welcome service families into our school, along with children living in the village and nearby villages. The school also benefits from an indoor swimming pool used by both our children and external groups. We have an exceptional Nursery provision as part of the school which is hugely popular with parents in the surrounding area. We also have a successful Nurture provision onsite which is a central part of the local SEND
offer. The Nurture Hub is run by our school but is a separate provision that is funded by Rutland County Council. Our highly skilled Nurture team work collaboratively with the County Council and provide outreach support to other Rutland schools.
Edith Weston is part of the Brooke Hill Academy Trust which is a small Trust of three schools in Rutland and Lincolnshire. The three schools and Heads work closely together along with the CEO, but we celebrate
each schools individuality and each retains it’s own character, vision and values.
