The Governors are looking to appoint a Headteacher at Otterburn Primary School to lead
and develop the school all the way from nursery to Year 6.
We are looking for an exemplary classroom practitioner, someone who can lead, motivate
and inspire our dedicated staff. We need a strong team player who will challenge and

their teachers.
- We place a high importance on forming strong relationships, so that every teacher
knows every child in every year.
We are looking for:

independently when required
- A leader who can build relationships with staff, governors and within the wider local
community
- Experience, or an awareness of, the challenges that mixed age classes, and small
year group can bring
- Someone who is as capable inspiring children in the classroom as they are at
managing a budget and strategically steering the school forward
In return we can offer:
- The committed support of Governors, local authority, and the community
- A school that is always looking to improve
- A commitment to your continued professional development and that of your staff
