* a team of professional, dedicated staff members committed to the highest standards;
a supportive Governing Body who will work with you to achieve your aspirations.
Our Head Teacher will:
* have a collaborative approach to leadership and be able to challenge and inspire others to excel;
* be committed to working in close partnership with parents and community;
* ensure the importance of academic progress is accompanied by opportunities to develop social, creative and sporting skills;
* ensure that staff members are valued and promote their continuous professional development;
* rigorously enforce safeguarding and promote the welfare and well-being of every child;
* be an approachable individual with a good sense of humour.
