We are looking for a Headteacher who will:

- Share our values and lead with integrity, warmth and humility, while bringing the ambition to build on the school's existing strengths.

- Bring successful experience of strategic leadership at Assistant Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher or Headteacher level in a primary school, together with classroom experience across the full primary age range and a strong track record of leading school improvement.

- Work alongside our committed staff and governors to shape a clear direction for the future, translating priorities into measurable improvement and leading confidently through technological and regulatory change.

- Maintain high standards in learning, attendance and behaviour, using data, management information and self-evaluation to identify priorities, monitor impact and drive improvement.

- Communicate openly and warmly with pupils, staff, families, governors and local partners, and ensure governors receive clear, timely and evidence-based information to support effective challenge and assurance.

- Stay up to date with current thinking in education and ensure the curriculum and teaching continue to develop, with particular emphasis on depth of learning, effective feedback and the purposeful use of technology.

- Oversee our budget, staffing, estate and resources effectively, ensuring that our split site and shared buildings support high-quality teaching, safeguarding and a positive experience for pupils and staff.

- Develop staff capability through purposeful professional development, while maintaining a strong commitment to wellbeing and sustainable workloads.

- Build strong partnerships with other schools, headteachers, trusts and professional networks so that the school continues to learn from, and contribute to, the wider education system.
