HEAD TEACHER

Leadership Range L12-18

Due to the retirement of the current, long serving Head Teacher an exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a dynamic individual to lead our successful and highly inclusive school.

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational, caring leader who will work with governors, staff, pupils and parents to deliver our vision of “Happiness, health and respect for confident, creative learners”, giving each child the chance to shine and reach their full potential.

Hollins Grundy Primary School serves a community with diverse needs. We were last inspected in March 2023 and remained good. The report highlighted ‘Leaders and staff expect pupils to achieve highly and behave well. Pupils respond positively to these high expectations. This ensures that the school is calm and that most pupils, and children in the early years, gain a strong body of knowledge across the curriculum’.

The successful candidate will have the experience, determination and enthusiasm to build on the school’s strong foundations and to take us forward on the next stage of our journey.

We can offer you:

• A happy and nurturing school, at the heart of the community, where you can truly make a difference to the lives of its pupils;
• The opportunity to work with an experienced, dedicated and highly motivated staff team;
• The support of a committed Governing Body;
• Strong, collaborative partnerships with the Local Authority and local schools;
• Support for your ongoing professional development.
• We support leaders to develop growth-minded, inclusive staff cultures. Environments where staff feel trusted, valued, and included enhance job satisfaction and reduce turnover.

We are looking for an exceptional candidate with:

• The ambition, dedication and determination to ensure all children reach their full potential;
• The vision and drive to lead the school forward on the next stage of its journey;
• High expectations who will maintain and enhance the positive ethos of the school;
• The experience and resilience to meet the challenges presented by a diverse school population whilst embracing the opportunities to develop strong relationships within the school and wider community;
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to inspire and develop teams by providing a strong role model, recognising that successful outcomes arise from collaborative leadership that supports and empowers staff.
