Salary: L33 (£109,275) to L39 (£126,517) Pilton Community College is one of two 11-16 comprehensive, mixed gender secondary schools serving the town and villages surrounding Barnstaple. We are seeking to appoint a new Headteacher to lead the school’s community. The school was graded as "Good” in 2023. Ventrus and another local Trust, Tarka Learning Partnership, on 1 April 2025 will combine to become The Harbour Schools Partnership, consisting of two secondary schools and 34 primary schools. The Pilton CC Headteacher will work collaboratively with these schools as a member of the Trust’s School Leaders’ Group, as well as with other groups such as Education Futures North Devon Partnership (EFNDP). The Trust has a Centre for Professional Development and is working closely with South West Institute for Teaching (SWIFT) as a Board Member to support the ECF and Teacher/Leader/Support staff CPD agendas. This is a time of growth and exciting change for Pilton Community College and The Harbour Schools Partnership. The School and partnership seek a Headteacher who can both drive school improvement and enjoys and sees the benefits of collaboration to maintain a highly effective school. The Trust supports a model of empowering each Headteacher to develop a school vision and follow it, rather than mandating a single Trust-wide approach to school effectiveness. The post is ideally suited to a January 2026 start.
