WE WANT AN OUTSTANDING LEADER!

Our excellent and long serving Headteacher is retiring at the end of this academic year. We have a wonderful and well established village school that is at the heart of our community and very highly regarded by pupils, parents/carers, staff, governors, the local authority and our wider community.

We are a local authority maintained school. Standards are high and our pupils are a joy to teach. We are proud of our many achievements and the learning outcomes in all aspects of life that our children attain. They show excellent behaviour and are very well supported by caring and committed parents/carers. The staff provide high quality teaching that results in high attainment and excellent pupil progress. Our children get a superb start to learning and become well rounded and excited learners.

Sibsey is a peaceful village just north of the market town of Boston. We are on the edge of the scenically beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and within a short journey of the east coast. Housing is very affordable and of excellent quality and range.

The Governors are now seeking a new Headteacher to take us to an outstanding position – we believe that we are very nearly there! In our last inspection, we were evaluated as a “good” school and we have continued to progress.

Could you be the person to drive us on to achieve our aim of becoming an outstanding school?

We need our next Headteacher to be visionary and with strategic experience in the primary sector in order to achieve the aspirations of the governing body on behalf of the pupils, staff, parents/carers and the community.
