Advert

St Katherine’s School and Nursery are looking for a new Headteacher.

If you have significant senior leadership experience within a primary school or wider MAT structure and you are looking for your next career opportunity, then this could be the job for you. As Headteacher of St Katherine’s, you have the opportunity to not only be the leader of a fantastic school in Snodland, but also become a member of the Coppice Primary Partnership (CPP) executive leadership team, where your skills will be used to support the education and school experience for all children in the trust. For more about the Trust, please look through the Recruitment Pack.

St Katherine’s is a fabulous school with amazing potential. Boasting a swimming pool and school run nursery, the school provides children and the community with invaluable opportunities to learn. Since joining CPP, the school has continued to develop a curriculum which aims to give children purposeful and powerful knowledge.

Operating within the ethos and values of the trust and to assist you in achieving your vision for the school, you will be supported by a dedicated and hardworking team of staff, a committed LGB, a supportive school community and the wider network of CPP. As part of the trust, you will have access to a range of services and high-quality support, designed to remove as many of the lower level administrative functions from the school to allow you to focus on the quality of teaching and learning in your school.

Coming to see the school and meeting the Trust Leader is essential. We want you to see this fantastic opportunity and meet some of the school and CPP team members. Visits can be arranged for week beginning 17th April. Please contact office@coppicepp.org to arrange a visit

We are looking for:

• an inspirational leader with a proven track record of improving standards who can continue to move the school forwards
• an ability to inspire and motivate others and work collaboratively with governors, staff and parents
• a person who understands the current educational climate
• an analytical leader with excellent organisational skills and the ability to think strategically
• a values driven leader with a strong sense of accountability, excellent people skills and a drive for excellence
• a team player who looks at how capacity can be shared across the trust, understanding that we can achieve more together than we can on our own
• a positive role model for work/life balance

We can offer you:

• the opportunity to lead a large school and nursery
• a fantastic environment with excellent resources available to all
• a supportive team of staff both in the school and across the trust
• children who are ready to learn and embrace challenge
• a supportive and proactive layer of governance, including the LGB and wider trust board.
• an immediate network of two other schools within the trust to share, develop and refine ideas
• a range of benefits to support your workload and wellbeing (see recruitment pack)
