Headteacher

The Governors of Aston Clinton Primary School are looking to appoint an exceptional Headteacher, and leader of people, with the skill, resilience and vision to carry the school successfully through the next stage of its evolution.

Critical to success in this role will be the need to be both innovative and agile, but so too will be the ability to demonstrate excellent communication skills. Meaningful collaboration with all stakeholders, most notably parents and guardians, is an absolute must. We believe that our ability to adapt and thrive is dependent upon all interested parties having shared aspirations and, for this to be a reality, understanding of what needs to happen and why is paramount. 

Equally critical will be the ongoing development and support of our highly dedicated and much respected teaching team. Already skilled, they have real commitment to their ongoing professional development and we believe that a leader who can truly realise this ambition will see a school community which benefits from a first class learning culture for both staff and pupils alike.

Aston Clinton school sits at the heart of its community and our pupils, like all children, are full to the brim with creativity, curiosity and energy. Harnessing this natural promise, and ensuring that every child leaves our care having achieved the most they possibly can academically, is the least we can do. Equally important is that we nurture their natural human capacity for good and demonstrate values which will enable the children to go from school into the wider community and live a happy and fulfilling life. Compassion, emotional intelligence and inclusivity are embedded in everything we do and we believe that this makes our school a safe and caring environment for everyone who’s lucky enough to be part of it.

If this is an environment in which you feel you’d thrive also, then please get in touch with us.

There’s lots of interesting information to be found on our website, and we would encourage you to look at the school remotely and view two videos to give you a flavour of our school life. https://www.astonclintonschool.co.uk/reception-2021-admissions-information/ .
