Abbeyfields First School, 3-9 years First School, Part of the Cheviot Learning Trust.
Following the retirement of our Headteacher, we are seeking to appoint a talented and inspirational leader who will build upon the existing strengths of Abbeyfields First School.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced educator to join the school and work in collaboration with other school leaders across Cheviot Learning Trust.
We are looking to appoint someone who will inspire children and build on the strong foundations built by our current Headteacher.
We can offer you:
* The ability to make a real difference to the lives of our children, who are enthusiastic, able, well behaved and engage positively with their learning.
* A strong, dedicated and motivated whole school team who are committed to the school and passionate about children’s learning and well-being.
* A school that is genuinely at the heart of its community.
* Access to a strong network of like-minded Trust school leaders and the guidance of an experienced CEO.
* The support and commitment of our Trustees and School Governing Board, parents, carers and friends of the school.
We are strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment.
