Are you a dynamic, passionate, and progressive leader? 

 Do you have the skills and drive to continue to lead a fantastic Primary School from ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’? 

Are you passionate about achieving outstanding teaching and learning in every classroom?

Do you want to inspire children through an engaging curriculum? 

Do you excel at developing your teaching and support staff to be the best they can possibly be?

If so, then this could be the role for you!

Due to relocation of our current Head of School we have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, experienced and skilled individual to take on the role of Head of School at Hoo St Werburgh Primary School, part of the Rivermead Inclusive Trust.

The ideal candidate will be expected to have a continuous presence within the school, be responsible for leading and supporting staff as well as collaborate with the Head of school at The Marlborough  which shares the site. Responsibilities will include the development of staff, relevant policies, training and the management of data as well as innovative leadership and being an outstanding practitioner.

Hoo St Werburgh Primary School & The Marlborough share the inclusive ethos of the Rivermead Inclusive Trust. We firmly believe that every child has a right to an education, no matter what barriers they have to learning.  We aim to instil in our pupils an enthusiasm for learning and an interest in the world around them.  We have high expectations of our pupils and staff and strive to provide a learning environment that ensures our pupils are challenged and make good or better progress in all aspects of their school life.

We celebrate every aspect of our pupils’ learning from their social and emotional development and life skills acquisition to the national curriculum subjects of reading, writing, maths and more. 

There are over 500 children on roll. The Marlborough School Based Provision caters for 80 of these children within six classes – admission for this provision is through the Local Authority for children with an EHCP. All the other children are within the main school which is organised into two classes per year. There is also a thriving nursery catering for two-, three- and four-year olds.

At a recent external inspection, the school secured ‘Good’ with several elements of outstanding.  The drive for the Head of School will be the continued journey to secure ‘Outstanding’ in all elements across the school.

Visits to Hoo St Werburgh Primary School are highly recommended. Please email kwatkin@r-i-t.org for an application form or contact Karen Watkin, HR Manager:  01634 961080
