About the School
Kirkdale St Lawrence CE Primary is set in the heart of Kirkdale. We are a successful, fully inclusive and happy school with a strong Christian vision that shapes and drives everything that we do. We pride ourselves in the work we do both in school and within the community to support, motivate and inspire our future citizens of Kirkdale. The school was described as: "Kirkdale St. Lawrence is living out its Christian vision in an inspirational and transformational way. In every thought and action, the school clearly demonstrates Christian love and care for everyone." In very challenging circumstances, we endeavour to make our school a haven for all, especially our most vulnerable children. Ofsted Oct 23 stated: “Pupils enjoy attending this nurturing, happy school.” We are a very strong team; teamwork underpins everything we do. This pivotal role in our school would suit someone who thrives in this kind of working environment and puts the wellbeing of all at the heart of their practice. The school has undergone a period of rapid improvement in the last three years and is now looking for the right person to move the school forward further with inspirational, creative, and impactful leadership.
