The Passmores Co-operative Learning Community

HEADTEACHER - Purford Green Primary School

Required for April or if necessary September 2015:

Salary: L12 - L18

Due to the retirement of the current post holder we are seeking an outstanding teacher and an inspirational leader for the position of Headteacher. Purford Green School became an academy in September 2013 under the sponsorship of the Passmores Cooperative Learning Community (PCLC). The partnership model is a success story and we want an energetic and committed professional to join and help us move to the next level.

Purford Green is a popular, one form entry school and has made great progress, as can be seen by the improved SATs results and an improved academic profile in the lower years. The school has a stable and dedicated staff team and the current headteacher is leaving the school in a strong position.

The successful candidate will have: ·

Experience of raising standards of teaching and learning, leading to improved achievement; ·

The energy, ambition and commitment to lead the school on the journey to being a great school recognised within the community and nationally.

This is an exciting opportunity for a current headteacher or dynamic and experienced deputy to be part of a wider organisation that believes in partnership and the boundless possibilities that are unlocked by true collaboration. Further information about the school is available on our web site at www.purfordgreen.essex.sch.uk and for information about the way the PCLC operates go to the Executive Principal's blog 'Essex Calling' on www.passmorespedagogy.wordpress.com or call 01279 770800.

An application form and further details are available from the HR manager, Tunai Musa, via email on t.musa@passmoresacademy.com. Applications should be returned by 9.00am on Monday 2nd February, with interviews taking place w/c 9th February.

'The PCLC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced disclosure through the Criminal Records Bureau'

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
