Are you looking for a new, exciting and unique opportunity to lead a vibrant and diverse community primary school?

Paxton Primary Academy Sports and Science is a 2 form entry Primary School in Thornton Heath, Croydon.  It joined Wandle Learning Trust in July 2019 and there are exciting plans for its future including a new state of the art building (April 2020).
