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.
