The Golden Thread Alliance is seeking an enthusiastic and inspirational Head of School. Culverstone Green Primary school Culverstone Green Primary school is a 1-form entry primary school at the heart of the Culverstone Green community with an incredibly supportive parent body and wonderful children. We are looking for our new Head of School to be someone with the skills, knowledge and attitude to build upon the school’s successes and strong stakeholder relationships and take the school on the next stage of its journey.

Working closely with the Executive Headteacher, the Senior School Improvement Lead and the Deputy CEO you will not only lead the school but will be part of a Trust Heads Strategic team. We are proud of the nine schools within our Trust family, and the successful candidate will ensure that every pupil receives the very best provision for their pupils, families and staff.

The successful applicant will be working with committed, talented, and dynamic staff, all of whom have a shared alignment to our school values of Respect, Integrity, Responsibility, Resilience, Equality and Aspiration which are woven through the school’s curriculum and all we do.

Alongside the job description and person specification, we are looking for an outstanding candidate who is: 

• People centred – we want someone who will fit well within the team, whilst having empathy for the countless challenges that our families and staff encounter on a daily basis.
• Hardworking and dedicated – understanding the variety and complexity of the role, whilst also acknowledging the extended working hours that are required on occasions.
• An expert at multi-tasking – as the role has many levels, working with a multitude of people to work with, and lots to achieve on a daily and weekly basis, as well as to achieve longer term goals.
• Loyal and committed – someone who sees themselves up for a rewarding and challenging journey.
• A reflective communicator – who loves listening to all stakeholders and thrives on solving problems.
• Fun – without doubt, in this role you are going to have to have a sense of humour! 

Above and beyond everything, the successful candidate will not only know and understand our Trust Values, but will be able to articulate clearly and passionately, how these values will be lived by you - every day. 

If you are the right person for this role, then we hope you will apply.  We pride ourselves on being a supportive employer, with a strong voice for the teaching profession as a whole.  We live by our values –and “family first” means that as well as two additional paid leave days (Family Days), we have a range of benefits to demonstrate how much we value each and every colleague.
