Headteacher

Are you an ambitious, dynamic and inspirational leader ready to make your mark? We are looking for a Headteacher who will embrace our values and build upon the school's impressive achievements. You will bring the presence, experience and vision to drive the continued development of our creative curriculum, champion high academic standards, and collaborate with all stakeholders to improve outcomes for every pupil. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to lead Highfield Primary School – an inclusive, "outstanding" three-form entry primary school with a passionate commitment to enabling all children and staff to reach their full potential. Guided by our core values of respect, cooperation and kindness, we provide a welcoming, safe and stimulating environment where learning is a journey for life. Nestled on a special school site with extensive field space which includes a mini farm, sports area and outdoor gym, our creative and active curriculum equips children with the knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive and lead successful lives. You will be a proven leader with excellent communication skills, emotional intelligence and resilience, and the ability to personify the school's vision to pupils, parents, staff and the wider community. You will have a passion for improving teaching and learning, the capability to manage financial and human resources effectively, and a commitment to championing pupil voice, active citizenship and the holistic development of every child. Above all, you will be a true leader of learning – an inspiring practitioner who energises both staff and pupils and who thrives on leading others through complexity in an ever-changing educational landscape.
