We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and inspirational leader to further develop our popular and successful school following the current headteacher’s appointment to a new post. As a foundation school within the Ouseburn Learning Trust, we work together with seven local schools and external partners to provide a world class educational experience for young people in our local area.
Our school was judged as Outstanding at the last Ofsted inspection in 2015 but governors and staff recognise the need to continue to work hard to improve results and ensure our pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their lives. We are looking for someone with the drive, energy and commitment to move the school forward as pupil numbers continue to increase and be outward-facing within a changing education world.
We are looking for a Headteacher who is:
• able to work with the Governing Body and other stakeholders to develop a strategic vision for the future and build on our positive, caring and inclusive school ethos
• an excellent teaching and learning professional with a track record of improving whole-school pupil outcomes as a headteacher or deputy headteacher
• able to inspire, motivate and empower all members of the school community
• a strategic thinker who can translate broad aims into effective operational plans
• capable of effectively managing finances, resources and people.
In return we can offer you:
• an inclusive school with happy, well behaved children who enjoy learning
• the support of our dedicated strong team of staff and governors
• the opportunity to develop our commitment to distributed leadership and management
• established positive relationships with parents and the local community
• the opportunity to work collaboratively with other Headteachers and our trust community.
Like to find out more about this opportunity? We are holding two open mornings so you can meet the Chair and Vice Chair of Governors and look around the school on Tuesday 7 May and Wednesday 8 May from 9.15am.
