Christ Church, Church of England Junior School, Downend · Bristol, South West
Are you an inspirational school leader who can guide our
school to even greater success?
After ten years of successfully leading our school, our Headteacher is moving to pastures new. The Board is committed to appointing a leader whose personal ethos aligns with our own, who is ready for the next step in their career, and who can elevate and build upon our strong foundations.
Christ Church Juniors (CCJ) is a thriving Church of
England Junior school with a deep-rooted commitment to enabling every child to
achieve their full potential. We are a local authority maintained school,
serving families from both South Gloucestershire and Bristol. As a proud church school, we value our strong links with
Christ Church, reflected in our recent Church–School Partnership Award. Our
vision, “Learning to live life in all its fullness”, is supported by
four pillars: valuing ourselves, engaging with others, inspiring awe in life,
and creating the future. These are embodied daily by staff and pupils through
our six core values. We offer a warm and sincere welcome to families of all
faiths and none, and we work in close partnership with our feeder school,
Christ Church Infants. We firmly believe in the power of collaboration, and the
success of both schools is closely connected, with all stakeholders benefiting
from our joint working. Inclusion lies at the heart of all we do. We are proud of
our stable, highly skilled staff and leadership team, who build deep and
nurturing relationships with every pupil. We strive to provide all pupils with
opportunities to learn through a wide range of experiences. Our recent Ofsted
judgement recognised CCJ as a Good school, highlighting our supportive parent
community, strong sense of belonging, and effective Board of Governors.
