Full time and Permanent

Are you looking for a challenge?

Would you like the opportunity to drive exceptional change and improve provision for pupils of all ages?

Would you benefit from working within a strong community of like-minded professionals, sharing best practice and ideas with school leaders across different settings?

The DoWMAT Board of Directors and the Local Academy Board for the Pinvin Federation of Schools; St. Nicholas CE Middle School and Pinvin CE First School, are looking for an inspirational leader who will enable all pupils to achieve of their very best and create an environment where staff are fulfilled and motivated to prepare the children for the future. The two schools are currently undertaking a structural change to become one school from September 2023 - with the expectation that this school will then become a primary school once the current change of age process in the local area is complete (anticipated for September 2025). The right person will have the flair and skill to manage substantial change whilst simultaneously furthering the culture of continuous improvement; setting and delivering on high standards of behaviour, educational provision and personal care.

The successful candidate will have proven success at building and leading high-performing teams and motivating pupils and staff. He or she will have an innovative and inspirational approach, along with a clear commitment to inclusive education in the community.

Formed in 2014, the Federation has enabled both schools to collaborate and share best practice in unique and exciting ways. Staff are rightly proud of our Federation’s secure, caring environment, based on a strong Christian Vision, where everyone is valued and respected as part of an excellent learning community. The schools are fully inclusive and welcoming to those of all backgrounds and faiths; all individuals are respected, supported and nurtured. Both schools share the same site and the same Governing Body – known as the Local Academy Board (LAB).

As Church of England academies, our vision is deeply rooted in a strong Christian tradition to develop happy young people with enquiring minds, a spirit of curiosity, respect for themselves, others and the environment - with opportunities to develop the skills, resilience and adaptability to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We warmly invite all those who are interested in this post, to contact the Federation directly to arrange a visit.

We can offer:

• opportunity for individualised CPD and other training
• collaborative opportunities to work alongside other DoWMAT Headteachers
• full support from the DoWMAT Central Team
• a caring, committed, friendly and hard-working staff
• happy, well-behaved, enthusiastic and motivated pupils who are proud of their school and enjoy learning
• a supportive Local Academy Board

The Pinvin Federation of Church of England Schools is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Any offer of employment will be subject to the receipt of a satisfactory DBS Enhanced Disclosure, two positive references, medical clearance, and evidence of appropriate qualifications.
