About this Role

Required for 1st September 2026. Fixed term for 2 years.

Salary: Leadership Group Pay Range. Executive Head recruitment and retention allowance.

Martley is a school with a distinctive Christian character, a committed staff team and a community that places great value on its school. Recent successes—including a strong Ofsted outcome in 2023 and a highly positive SIAMS inspection in 2024—reflect the dedication of staff and the clarity of the school’s vision. These achievements provide a secure platform for the strategic leadership that this role will bring.

As an Executive Headteacher, you will play a key role not only supporting the Head of School in leading Martley but also in contributing to the wider development of our trust. You will join a collaborative network of leaders who share expertise, challenge one another professionally, and work collectively to ensure that every child across our schools receives an exceptional education.

We are seeking a leader with ambition, integrity, and the ability to inspire. Someone who can drive improvement, develop people and uphold the Christian ethos that sits at the heart of Martley’s identity.

If you are motivated by the opportunity to lead with purpose and to make a lasting impact on a school and its community, we would be delighted to receive your application.
