Lead with Purpose. Inspire with Passion.

At Peareswood Primary School, we are guided by our shared values of pride, ambition, kindness, creativity & collaboration. We are now seeking an outstanding Headteacher who embodies these values to lead our committed team and nurture the next generation of learners.

As part of a Trust with a strong digital focus, Peareswood Primary is proud to be an Apple Distinguished School, embracing future-ready education. Our curriculum is enhanced by cutting-edge educational technologies, and we are committed to creating inclusive, engaging learning environments through approaches like Universal Design for Learning (UDL). We want our next Headteacher to champion this blend of traditional pedagogy and digital innovation, leading staff to embed practices that ignite curiosity, encourage independence, and support every learner to thrive.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and visionary leader to shape the future of Peareswood Primary, driving school improvement and championing excellence in teaching and learning. You’ll work closely with our Trust Executive Team and Local Academy Committee to ensure the best educational outcomes for all our pupils.

As Headteacher, you will be at the heart of a welcoming, inclusive, and ambitious school community – one where high expectations, continuous professional development, and a passion for education come together to create a culture where every child and adult thrives.

The successful candidate will:

• Be an ambitious, forward-thinking leader with a track record of raising standards and building strong teams.
• Be passionate about blending traditional and digital teaching methods to prepare children for a rapidly changing world.
• Have a strong understanding of how technology and UDL principles can be used to enhance learning and inclusivity.
• Lead with empathy, integrity, and a values-driven mindset.
• Have in-depth experience of curriculum development, safeguarding, and school improvement.
• Use data strategically to drive achievement and support pupil progress.
• Be a visible, approachable leader who builds trust across the school and wider community.
• Demonstrate excellent financial and operational acumen, ensuring value for money in all decisions.
• Contribute actively to the collaborative and innovative culture across our Multi Academy Trust.

This role offers the chance to make a significant and lasting impact, not just on Peareswood Primary but across our growing Trust network. If you are a dynamic, forward-thinking leader with the drive to unlock potential in every child and adult, we would love to hear from you.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early should a suitable candidate be found; therefore, early application is encouraged.
