The Governors, Staff and Students of Ss Alban & Stephen Catholic Infant and Ss Alban and Stephen Catholic Junior Schools are seeking to appoint an Executive Headteacher with proven leadership skills to build on existing successes in each school. Due to the departure of the Headteachers this is a new role and will be a key appointment as part of the creation of a new federation.
If you are a practising Catholic, committed to the ethos of Catholic education and a caring and ambitious leader who strives for the highest standards, then this is a unique opportunity for you to define a new position and lead two highly-regarded schools in our joint purpose of educating children in the spirit of Christ.
We are currently working towards federation with a single governing body. We are seeking a dynamic, collaborative and visionary leader who can build on the respective strengths of both schools, bringing together their communities, while maintaining the unique and defining characteristics and identities of each school. The Executive Headteacher will play a vital part in helping to determine the structure of both the Federation and the Senior Leadership Teams at each school. In this role you will be supported by an enthusiastic and committed governing body, who are aligned to bringing our two schools even closer together to best meet the needs of our children and their families.
The successful candidate will possess:
- Experience as a Headteacher
- The ability to articulate a clear and exciting vision for both Schools
- Experience to sustain outstanding performance combined with innovation and an open, outward-focused approach
- The skills to build a partnership across both schools as we work towards a more collaborative future.
- Exceptional interpersonal and leadership skills to lead both schools into a secure future
- Expertise to find and create professional staff development opportunities which meet staff needs at all stages of their careers
