This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Deputy Head Teacher or existing Head Teacher to build on the school’s current position as a “Good” school and move us towards “Outstanding”.

You will be provided with an experienced Head Teacher mentor who will offer advice and support whenever needed. 

We are a one form entry over-subscribed maintained school with close ties to the Local Authority. We work with local schools and this is something we would like you develop further. 

We are a very popular village school.  Pupils, staff, parents, governors and volunteers agree that our strength is our community spirit, which creates a caring, supportive and happy environment. 

Our pupils are looking for a Head Teacher who is kind, happy and funny. A Head Teacher that loves books, is sporty and likes technology.

Our parents are looking for a Head Teacher that will continue to develop their children into confident learners.
