Job overview
Thank you for looking at our advertisement for the position of Executive Headteacher at The Viridis Federation of Orchard, Southwold & Hoxton Garden Primary Schools.
Our schools are based in Hackney, East London with convenient transport links to wider London. We have been in partnership since January 2012 and are a hard federation with a joint Governing Body. We have a joint pupil roll of over 1300 pupils and all three schools are graded ’good’ or ’outstanding’ by Ofsted.
Our pupils achieve well above national averages despite all three schools being in areas of challenge. We have a very skilled team of highly committed and professional teachers and leaders who work incredibly hard. However, there is always much to do. We look to create exciting and innovative opportunities for children to be successful and enjoy learning and we also look to share ideas of best practice with other schools. We have very high standards for what can be achieved with the benefits of a shared expertise and support.
Following the departure of our current Executive Headteacher, who is moving to a senior role in a neighbouring Local Authority, we are seeking a new Executive Headteacher to offer expertise to our Governing Body and senior leadership team and deliver a strategy of continued success. First and foremost we are looking for someone who is confident, knowledgeable and who has the passion, energy and skill to make a difference, seeking to develop the partnership that has served our schools so well. This role would suit an experienced Headteacher who can demonstrate high expectations, a strong vision, an understanding of our context and a collegiate approach. If you are looking to take the next step to further develop your leadership potential then we would welcome your application.
If you would like to learn more about our schools partnership, we would be delighted to answer any questions that you may have and arrange a visit to see what we do for yourself. The contact details are in the pack.
