Job Description

Mildmay Junior School is a three form entry Junior School with an Enhanced Provision for Hearing Impaired pupils. We are a rapidly improving school with teachers, governors, support staff and pupils fully committed to getting even better. Pupils are making good progress in all year groups.

Our Ofsted inspection in October 2013 judged the school to be Good in all areas and stated:

• learning is well planned and structured, and pupils of all abilities are effectively supported. Excellent use of additional sessions and support is ensuring that pupils in all groups are now working at a higher level than in the past
• a very strong feature of teaching is the high quality of relationships. Pupils clearly feel highly valued by their teachers and other adults, which leads to pupils having high self-esteem and very positive attitudes towards learning.

The Governors are seeking to recruit a Headteacher for September 2015 following the external promotion of our current head that is leaving the school in July. We are looking for someone who has the experience, ability and drive to lead, nurture and inspire high quality teaching and learning, and who will continue our school's journey to outstanding.

We offer:

• a commitment to professional development
• a positive, dedicated and highly professional staff team and governing body
• pupils who have a love of learning
• a happy, caring, supportive environment.

Please contact Mrs J Reardon, the School Business Manager, on 01245 250019 to arrange a visit to the school.
