As a Church of England school within Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust, we are looking for a leader who shares our values-driven approach and can articulate a clear moral purpose, demonstrating faith, courage and love in their leadership. Experience of working within a Church school and the NPQH qualification would be advantageous but are not essential.

This is a unique opportunity for a leader who is committed to inclusion, ambitious for every child and excited by the chance to lead a thriving village school at the heart of its community.
