What skills and experience we're looking for
Are children at the heart of your work? Are you looking for a challenge? If so, read on… The Directors of The Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham Multi Academy Trust are seeking to appoint a headteacher to Burntstump Seely C of E Primary Academy.
Burntstump Seely is truly unique. Yes, every school is unique but this one is very different: It is located in an idyllic setting in the Burnstump country park, surrounded by trees and countryside and benefitting from wonderful buildings. It is a beautiful setting for a primary education.
Burntstump Seely is a very happy school. The children are keen to learn and love the opportunities that the committed staff provide them with. The opportunity to make a real difference to the children and their life-chances is awaiting the right candidate.
We are looking for someone who can build on the good work of the previous headteacher and provide all pupils with an exceptionally high quality of education. If this sounds like your next step, you will need to be someone who:
• Inspires colleagues to be the very best that they can be.
• Values, promotes and celebrates our core Christian values in all that they do.
• Provides expertise in primary practice.
• Works with resilience, integrity and courage.
• Brings exceptionally high expectations to all that they do.
• Locates children at the heart of all their work.
What the school offers its staff
You will be supported by a Trust that does things differently: we aren’t corporate - and we don’t impose pedagogical policies. We don’t shift teachers around at short notice and we know that strength lies in the quality of our people. We work together to place the best interests of pupils at the centre of every decision and action. You will join our Senior Leadership Team of Headteachers to move both Burntstump Seely C of E Academy and the wider Trust forward.
In return for your commitment, we will provide exciting opportunities supported through bespoke CPD, tailored specifically to your needs. You will be supported by an executive team in the first year and will benefit from the wider support of our expert practitioners. We want you to stay in this Trust and will find opportunities to keep you excited about your work. This is a rare chance to make a huge difference, to join a school at the heart of its community.
