‘A school where everyone matters’
Are you who we are looking for? Due to the recent retirement and relocation of our Headteachers we are looking to appoint a new Headteacher for our friendly and inclusive school in Banbury. The school is in a modern setting with fantastic facilities within a diverse community.
On the larger side of the primary sector we have 450 pupils which includes our Nursery provision. In addition to this we offer wraparound care for our families with a Breakfast Club, After School Club and holiday club.
At St Leonard’s we believe every child matters and they are all capable of achieving their full potential. We have a topic-based curriculum that focuses on the development of the whole child. We recognise the importance of working with pupils, parents and the wider community to achieve the best possible outcomes for our pupils. We are proud of our pupils’ behaviour which was recognised by our recent OFSTED inspection.
The community of St Leonard’s Primary School is looking for:
An outstanding teacher of all children who can inspire staff
An enthusiastic and inspirational leader who can develop our School Improvement Plan and take us from Requires Improvement to Outstanding
A leader who is committed to the values of a Church of England school
An experienced motivational leader who can maintain and develop relationships with all members of the school and local community
We can offer the successful candidate:
A supportive Senior Leadership Team consisting of a Deputy Headteacher, Assistant Headteacher, SENDCo and a Senior Management Team of Key Stage Leaders
A well-resourced teaching environment
A supportive Governing Body
Excellent Continuing Professional Development opportunities
A PTFA dedicated to improving the life of the school community
