Required from 1 September 2026

Small enough to care; big enough to make a positive impact 

We are looking for a dynamic and inspirational Head of School, who will continue to drive forward the academic standards and ambitions of the school by proactively leading and inspiring our pupils and staff.

You will have the vision to take on the challenge of leading our school to be outstanding in all that we do, by being an exceptional leader to our pupils, staff and school community, committed to raising standards and further developing our well-behaved hardworking students' learning.

You will personally have a key role in providing strategic leadership, working collaboratively to ensure strategies and systems for behaviour, attendance and pastoral support are implemented across the school.

Your track record of contributing at a strategic level to school improvement will also show your ability to work in partnership with a range of stakeholders to achieve desired outcomes and impact.

Although it is important that you can think strategically, you will also need to adopt a hands-on approach to deal with the diverse demands of school life and have highly developed communication skills to build effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

If you have a passion for education then this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant contribution to the federation and become an integral part of our future success.

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged, please call Angela Vintis on 0191 2371505 to arrange a suitable time.
