• Able to articulate and demonstrate a clear understanding of effective leadership and management within schools
• Committed to working with children, parents and staff to build upon the current high standards across the school and community
• An open, honest and effective communicator who is approachable and leads by example, taking ownership of the school and being recognised in the community as the ‘face of the school’
• Someone who understands our values and our strengths and has the ability and imagination to help further develop the wonderful range of activities and experiences that our children benefit from
• A visionary leader with drive, energy, resilience and a forward-thinking, positive outlook.

In return we can offer you:
