We are looking for an experienced, dynamic and visionary leader who will embody our school values and ethos and whose outstanding interpersonal and communication skills will enable them to work effectively with staff, governors, parents, and the community.  They will also recognise the importance of balancing the well-being of the children and staff with the desire to achieve the best outcomes for all.
