Full-time Headteacher

Job Description

Enjoy - Respect - Achieve

These are our school values, can you instill them for life? The children, parents, staff and governors of Great Totham Primary School are looking for a new Headteacher to lead our school to become one of the most effective schools in the country. Where others see limitations, we see unrealised potential. Are you the person to make the difference? Can you help us become the place where everyone in Team Totham excels beyond their dreams? Are you the person to help develop the character, capability, capacity and confidence of our children to give them the best choices, and the ability to succeed in them, for the next stage of their education and set them up for life? If you are, then we would like to meet you.

We are looking for someone who:

• has the drive, energy and integrity to lead by example, inspire, motivate and enable all our people to become the best

• is committed to pursuing and delivering the highest standards of teaching, learning and personal development

• will promote and hold true to the ethos of the school that nothing gets in the way of delivering the best for our children

• has the highest expectations and aspirations for all – and holds that vision until the individuals realise them for themselves.

We will offer you:

• the engagement, challenge and support of a committed and experienced governing body

• the privilege of leading and developing the skills of a professional, committed and motivated staff team

• the unique challenge of providing the best environment for our children to grow and develop beyond everyone’s expectations

• all the freedoms and flexibility in approach that come with being a Foundation School

• the chance to make us a truly outstanding school and become one of the best in the country.

If this is what you are looking for, then come and see for yourself. Visit our website at www.greattotham.essex.sch.uk for more information about our school. Informal visits are welcome during the week commencing 20th May 2013 to meet some of the children and find out more. Contact Kate Bome on 01621 891091 to make arrangements.
