Headteacher

St Berteline’s

is looking for a new headteacher who has the leadership ability, enthusiasm,

drive, determination and commitment to continue to develop our unique school

into the future. We seek someone who can build on the firm foundations that our

present and past Headteachers have developed to continue to provide an

excellent academic and pastoral education for every child in our care. You will

be an effective communicator, a good listener, and an approachable, supportive

leader who will value all staff and actively encourage and upskill them through

ongoing CPD. Our new headteacher will uphold the Christian ethos of our school,

which has at its heart the Bible verse ‘Faith as small as a mustard seed can

achieve great things – even move mountains’. (Matthew 17.20)

The successful

applicant will be a proven effective leader with a clear vision for excellent education,

within a strong Christian ethos. They will appreciate the benefits of working

with a supportive team of staff, governors, parents and the wider

community. They will also enjoy collaborating closely with other schools within

CDAT, learning from and sharing best practice.

St Berteline’s, situated in Runcorn, has been a

one and a half form entry school for many years but from September 2026 will

become one form entry. The school plays

a central role in local life, with strong and positive relationships with the local

church and the community. We are immensely proud of our most recent Ofsted

inspection (October 2024) and the outcome of

our SIAMS inspection (March 2026). We can offer our new Headteacher a warm and

welcoming school, underpinned by a hard-working and committed staff team.
