This is a chance to lead a well-resourced school serving a community with high levels of deprivation, where your leadership will make a real, lasting difference to children's lives and the wider community. As one of the larger schools within the Vine Schools Trust, St Osyth offers a rewarding role with scope to contribute across the Trust's network, not just in your own school.
Why apply?
- Join a collaborative, values-led Trust with strong peer support and professional networks
- Focus on leading teaching and learning: Trust finance support takes pressure off day-to-day budget management, but where you'll still make strategic decisions
- Develop your knowledge of Church school leadership and SIAMS, with guidance and training provided: no requirement to be a practising Christian; just a willingness to lead with the underpinning of a Christian ethos
- Contribute to teaching development across the Trust, not just within St Osyth
- Lead a settled, inclusive school with healthy finances and committed staff
We're looking for a strategic and reflective leader with senior primary experience, who's committed to delivering excellent outcomes for all pupils.
We strongly advise you contact our recruitment partner Alpha Parish, or alternatively, Ross Laird (between 29th July - 6th August), at Academicis for more information, or an initial informal chat / to arrange a visit, before submitting your application:
