Headteacher

Fir Tree Primary School

Learning and Growing Together

Are you an enthusiastic, child-centred and confident leader, committed to inspiring and supporting pupils, staff and the wider school community to build on the successes of our school? Our children and staff are looking for a Headteacher who is inspirational and passionate, who is warm and considerate, but is also strong and willing to stand up for the best interests of both pupils and staff.

We are looking for a Headteacher who will:

• Build on the solid foundations already in place,
• Be approachable and a good listener, with an ability to work collaboratively with others,
• Place the children front and centre of all that you do, valuing each child as an individual and continuing the school’s inclusive approach,
• Develop the excellent teaching and learning provision for our children, ensuring that each child achieves their true potential,
• Encourage, motivate and support the staff team, providing opportunities to share skills and develop,
• Inspire the whole school community by setting clear standards and fair expectations.

In return we can offer you:

• Children who are keen to learn, behave well and care for one another,
• An excellent staff team with considerable expertise, who work well together and care deeply for our pupils,
• A broad and ambitious curriculum which offers exciting and inspirational teaching and learning opportunities,
• A fantastic school environment, with excellent outdoor space and established programmes for wider learning,
• A committed local governing body who supports the Headteacher and cares for staff and pupil wellbeing,
• An engaged and supportive parental community with a hard-working PTA.

We believe this is a fantastic opportunity to lead a committed and hard-working team in a friendly, welcoming school. If our vision and values resonate with you, we would love to hear from you whether you are a current Headteacher or an experienced leader seeking your first headship.
