What skills and experience we're looking for
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School is part of the Blessed Christopher Wharton Catholic Academy Trust. The Trust comprises of 17 Primaries and two Secondaries that work together as a family of Schools. The Academy Council and Trust Board of this much improved school are looking to appoint an inspirational leader, whose own vision and faith support our mission in providing an excellent Catholic Education, where every person is precious to God.
The School has been on a journey of huge improvement over recent years and was last inspected by Ofsted in 2022 and gained a ‘Good’ Rating. The newly appointed leader should build on this success and exemplify exceptional teaching, showing dedication to enhancing the skills and practices of the staff team. They will be passionate about fostering each child’s potential and cultivating an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone feels valued.
St Anne’s offers an inspiring opportunity for those driven to improve young people’s life opportunities. By collaborating with leaders across the Trust, the new Headteacher will play a pivotal role in making a lasting impact on the children and the community we serve.
