So, why come to Claremont?

We believe Claremont is an opportunity.  

It’s an opportunity for you to develop your career while helping us to build on the recent progress we have made and improve our school and its learning still further.  You will have ideas and plans for the successful school you would like to lead, and we think Claremont offers you the chance to make them happen, the chance to improve, to develop and to innovate. Rated Ofsted ‘Outstanding’, we’re an ambitious school, and with the governing body behind you, you’ll have the encouragement and support you need to lead our school.

It’s an opportunity because you will be working with an amazingly gifted, energetic and committed staff team including award-winners, several county moderators and Specialist Leaders of Education.  Our data is also impressive, although we are always looking for improvement, and we hope you’ll help with that.

It’s also an opportunity because of the pupils: lovely children, motivated, funny, well-behaved (usually!) and excited and enthusiastic about learning.  They all love school and we try to give them as broad an education as we can.  Plus, their parents are very engaged too and extremely supportive of the school and our efforts.  

It’s an opportunity to influence education in a broader sense too.  This is because of our involvement as primary leader of the Altius Teaching School alliance, and the openings that brings. Additionally, there’s opportunity with our membership of the town’s educational support network, the local collaborative trust.

And it’s an opportunity because we will provide you with all the support you need.  You’ll be able to draw on the expertise of the leadership and teaching teams, and the various backgrounds and skills of the governors.  In addition there will be external support, ongoing training and executive coaching if you want it, plus priority leadership time to focus on the high level strategic and planning elements of the job.

We could go on.  The biggest reason that it’s an opportunity is that Claremont’s a great school – friendly, supportive, caring and a lovely place to work.

If that all sounds like something you would be interested in, contact us to arrange to look round.

Our School and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the children. This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Application to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
