Head of School

We are delighted that you are interested in applying for the role of Head of School at Trumpington Meadows Primary School. The school is part of The Trumpington Federation, a federation of two primary schools which was established in 2012 on the foundation of a belief that two schools together can achieve more than one school alone. The schools work together to serve our local children, and our vision is centred around all members of our community growing and learning together.

We are looking for an individual who believes in the power of collaboration; the successful candidate will be excited about the opportunity to work closely with the Executive Head Teacher and the Head of School at the partner school, Fawcett Primary School. Together, our Senior Leadership Team will work to continue to shape an excellent school experience that serves the needs of all of our children and sets them all up to develop a life-long love of learning. Under the leadership of the Executive Head Teacher, the two schools are unified by this shared vision, but it is important to us that both Heads of School retain autonomy to run their school on a day-to-day basis. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the initiative and team-spirit needed to lead a school within a Federation.

This post would suit either a current Head of School looking to use their experience in a new setting, or a current Deputy or Assistant Head looking to take the next step in their career. As a Federation, we are proud of the opportunities our staff have for professional development and we would be pleased to support a driven individual with a strong track record of effective senior leadership.

We are fortunate to have an exceptionally dedicated staff team at Trumpington Meadows Primary who put our pupils at the heart of everything. If you think you would be the person to lead this team and shape the daily experience of our pupils, we warmly encourage you to apply for the role. Interested applicants are welcome to come and visit the school, but if you are not able to visit during the timeframe then our weekly school Newsletters will give you a good sense of the school, as will our Federation Instagram account.
