Role description – Head Teacher Langar C of E Primary School

Scope: Newly academised church primary school with 88 pupils, 4 classes with a PAN of 105.

Job description :
This is a great opportunity to lead a small village primary school as it settles into being part of a multi-academy trust of primary schools. We are looking for a Head Teacher who will develop and build strong links with Aspire Multi-academy Trust, and to identify how to bring the benefits of being part of a larger family of primary schools to Langar.

Whilst leveraging the support, resources and benefits of academisation, the new Head Teacher will need to maintain the fantastic building blocks of a caring, “family feel” small school, where fairness, respect and thoughtfulness are at the heart of daily life.

As Langar is a Church of England school, the Head Teacher will also work with the recently arrived member of clergy to resume and strengthen these links following an extended period of vacancy in the Parish role.

• OFSTED : “Pupils flourish at this rapidly improving, inclusive and welcoming school. Staff know pupils and their families very well. The school has a ‘family feel’ to it. Pupils say they are happy and feel safe here. The school values include fairness, respect and thoughtfulness. They shine through. The values are consistently reinforced through the school day and during collective worship. Pupils understand these values and try to use them in their daily lives.”

Areas for development :
• To bring KS1 results in line with the achievements of pupils at KS2.
• To work closely with the SENDCo, on balancing the loving, caring, inclusive approach of the school with ensuring consistent behaviour management strategies are in place in order to further develop a safe and calm learning environment for all pupils
