Headteacher

St Philip’s CE Primary School is a 1.5FE Voluntary Aided primary, rated Good (Ofsted 2021 and SIAMS 2023).

St Philip’s offers a wonderful mix of relatively small community feel with the challenge of huge diversity within it. Diversity of socio-economic status, education, faith, nationality – yet it remains small enough for many people to know each other and want to know each other. The school is the point where they meet, offering the potential to be at the heart of a community that combines the best of a vibrant village feel within the thriving, bustling city of Cambridge.

Governors are now seeking a new Headteacher with the vision and ability to lead, manage and inspire our school community as a centre of academic and pastoral excellence for all.

You will be joining a vibrant and welcoming school – an exciting place to work with children from a wide range of backgrounds and well-motivated, compassionate staff who work hard to deliver a first-class education. The school is ably supported by dedicated Governors who are committed to bringing positivity and support as the school embarks on a new chapter on its journey.

If, as an existing Head – or indeed a Deputy or Interim Head looking for their first step into Headship – you believe you offer the leadership talent which inspires and motivates others towards excellence, then we would love to hear from you.

Applications are sought from both practising Christians and those committed to supporting the Christian ethos of the school.

Closing date: Monday 22 January at 12 Noon

Interviews: Tuesday 30 January (one day)

We warmly encourage you to visit St Philip’s to see the children and staff at work. We are confident that you will sense the warmth, welcome and friendliness of the whole school community, which makes St Philip’s such an exciting place to lead.
