Following the promotion of our Head of School, the Governors, Staff, and families of Worth Primary School are seeking to employ a highly ambitious and talented leader to take on the role of Head of School.  This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who has demonstrated impact at a whole school level to support the school’s team in continuing to raise standards.

This presents a wonderful opportunity to move to a Senior Leadership role whilst benefiting from the support of an experienced colleague.

We are a ‘GOOD’ school, with a strong team ethos working together to raise aspirations of all. We want every child to aim high throughout their school journey, in a nurturing environment, so that they leave us with the necessary skills and knowledge that prepare them for life beyond Worth.

You will be responsible for promoting the vision and direction of the school by providing day to day leadership, enabling the school to build on its current successes. This role has a small Teaching Commitment, currently in Year 1/2 and includes the SENCo role. (Training for this can be provided)

We are seeking a Head of School who:

  • An outstanding classroom practitioner.
  • An individual with a proven track record of raising standards at a whole school level.
  • An individual who can effectively support and challenge staff, pupils and families.
  • An ambitious individual who aspires to headship.
  • A nurturing person who also has the highest expectations for behaviour and learning.
  • An effective communicator.

We can offer you:-

  • Enthusiastic, happy, motivated children
  • A committed team of teachers and support staff
  • An engaged and supportive Governing Body
  • Excellent relationships with the wider community
  • The opportunity to work with local schools in a strong collaboration

We strongly recommend visits to the school so that you can get a real feel for what we believe in and offer. Please contact the school office on 01304 612148 to arrange a visit
