The Role

Contract Type: Full Time Permanent
Start Date: January 2020 

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an energetic and inspiring new Headteacher to lead our Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ Junior School.  The current Head is retiring after 18 years and we are seeking a successor who will build on the School’s existing high standards while bringing to the role their own leadership experience, skills, ideas and commitment to excellence.
Honeywell Junior School is a three-form entry school situated between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons in South London.  The School has a distinct identity but works closely with the Infant School through a joint Governing Body, a shared vision and active collaboration between the Heads.
Honeywell Junior School has a fantastic reputation and benefits from a valued and motivated teaching staff, a strong leadership team, committed pupils, a supportive Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (which provides many additional resources) and long-standing links to the community.  The School is proud to provide an enriching and positive learning environment for all its pupils.

Our Next Headteacher will:
• Provide strategic leadership with a view to developing and improving an already outstanding school which places the rights of the child at its core
• Lead by example and model best practice regarding professional conduct, workload and personal development
• Work collaboratively to formulate the aims and objectives of the School and steer the School to achieve them
