Headteacher

About The Role:

Truro and Penwith Academy Trust, together with the Local Monitoring Committee of Mullion Primary School, are seeking to appoint a dynamic, reflective and committed Headteacher to lead the next stage of the school’s journey. Mullion Primary School is at the heart of a strong, supportive community, with excellent relationships between pupils, families and local partners. There is strong collaboration with Mullion Secondary School, providing valuable opportunities to develop educational coherence, support smooth transition, and grow community cohesion across the village and beyond.

At Mullion Primary School, we aim to instill a genuine love of learning and to nurture a positive, ‘can‑do’ mindset that builds ambition and confidence in every child. Our pupils are encouraged to understand themselves as individuals, recognise their own talents and strengths, and develop respect for others and the wider world. We are committed to preparing our children well for the next stage of their education so that they are confident learners, ready to embrace the opportunities ahead.

The school serves a diverse range of pupil needs, and we are proud of our inclusive ethos and commitment to high quality provision for all learners. The successful candidate will build on established strengths, leading with clarity and compassion, and working in partnership with staff, families, the Trust and the wider community.

Mullion Community Primary School is located in the village of Mullion on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. The school currently has 131 pupils on roll across five classes, providing a nurturing environment where children are known, valued and supported to achieve their best.
