We don’t want a Headteacher…

We want an inspirational leader who will embrace the challenge of taking our school from Good to Outstanding.

Our school has plenty to offer the right candidate; we have a dedicated teaching staff and committed senior and middle leadership teams.  The children are happy and eager to learn and our Governing Body is supportive and encouraging.  The last piece missing from our puzzle is you.  Can you complete the picture and lead us forward as we drive up the standards of teaching in our school to ensure that every child achieves their potential?

This is a great opportunity to progress your career in a school where your determination and ambition will be encouraged and supported by our eager staff.  Our school has high standards because we believe our children deserve the very best we can give them.  A commitment to these standards will be evident in your passion for staff development and will be reflected in our commitment to your professional development.  

As a Church of England school our faith is at the heart of all we do and this is evident in the children who are well behaved, eager to learn and accepting of each other and their differences.  There is plenty of opportunity to build on the established relationships with other schools and organisations, like the local Church, and to cement our place and yours as a key player in this community.

Whilst we aim to appoint as soon as possible we are prepared to be flexible about a starting date for the right candidate.

Visits are positively encouraged and can be arranged on: July 17th (2pm -3.30pm) and 21st (9.30am – 12noon) and September 12th  (10am – 12 noon) and 16th (2pm – 3.30pm) - please contact the Clerk to the Governors, Janet Davies at  clerktogovernors@stjohns.kent.sch.uk or phone 07532 400929. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.
