Batley Multi Academy Trust’s sole purpose is to provide a great education for Primary and Secondary learners throughout a local family of schools. The Trust is passionately committed to the communities of Batley, Birstall, Dewsbury and our surrounding areas, serving our local learners and their families in order to secure excellent educational outcomes, partnered with high aspirations. Batley Multi Academy Trust currently comprises Batley Girls’ High School; Batley Grammar School; Field Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery School; Healey Junior, Infant and Nursery School; Manorfield Infant and Nursery School and Upper Batley High School. We provide high quality education for all young people. This collaboration enables us to share expertise, knowledge and best practice to ensure academic and pastoral excellence throughout all of our schools, with all schools embracing the same overall ethos and values, whilst maintaining their own unique characters.

Field Lane is a welcoming, one-form entry primary school for children aged 3 to 11, deeply rooted in our local community and situated in the heart of Batley. Our vision, "Together We Learn," succinctly captures the culture and ethos that defines our school. We have established practices that empower children, parents/carers, and our staff team to believe in themselves, cultivate their creativity, and make a positive impact on the world. Everyone feels a sense of belonging to something greater. Our learners are safe, cared for, and learn to care for others; they are valued for their individuality, supported in making sound decisions, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, inspiring Trust Headteacher to lead on the strategic direction of the school, on the next phase of its journey. This post is an exciting opportunity for a forward-thinking leader, passionate about making a difference to the lives of young learners and are excited to join a dynamic, forward-thinking school community. The Trust and Governing Board are looking for an inspirational, learner focussed individual who will successfully lead Field Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery School in the next stage of its development, and be a committed member of the Trust Headteacher network group in a growing, high performing Trust.

Batley Multi Academy Trust and Field Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery School are highly committed to the continual improvement of the quality of education and ultimately excellent outcomes, both academically and more widely, for all our young people. The new Trust Headteacher will be at the heart of this school improvement work, working closely with our Trust team, other school leaders, colleagues, families and most importantly with our young people themselves.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive forward thinking school and Trust, who in return for your commitment and hard work, will support you to achieve your own career goals and aspirations.
