This pivotal leadership role offers the opportunity to shape and develop the school's pastoral provision and make a significant impact on the lives of children and families across our community.
At Lady Royd Primary School, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, supported and inspired to achieve their full potential. As our Pastoral Lead, you will champion pupil wellbeing, attendance, safeguarding, inclusion and family engagement, ensuring that all children are equipped to flourish both in and beyond the classroom.
Working closely with pupils, families, staff, senior leaders, and external agencies, you will lead strategies to improve attendance, coordinate targeted interventions, support vulnerable pupils, and remove barriers that prevent children from succeeding.

This is an exciting opportunity for a committed professional to lead meaningful change, improve outcomes for children and help ensure every pupil is able to Aspire, Succeed and Lead.
