As Head of Primary, you will:

  • Provide strategic leadership and clear direction for the Primary phase

  • Drive excellence in teaching and learning, securing strong outcomes

  • Foster a culture rooted in integrity, ambition, and inclusion

  • Lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing team

  • Contribute as a key member of the Executive Team

The Person

You will demonstrate:

  • Strategic and decisive leadership, open to innovation and change

  • A strong record of leading teams and improving standards

  • Excellent classroom credibility and deep curriculum understanding

  • The ability to inspire staff and students alike

  • A collaborative approach when working with Governors, senior leaders, parents, and the wider community

  • Reflective practice, strong organisational skills, and commitment to continuous improvement
