Job Introduction
We are offering a wonderful opportunity for someone who is looking for an outstanding opportunity to grow themselves and their career as Head of School within a friendly and supportive village community.
The successful candidate will be someone who brings clarity of thought, energy and an enduring commitment to improving pupil outcomes. They will also be warm, collaborative and engaging, and able to inspire children and adults alike.
The Head of School, under the direction of the Executive Headteacher, will be responsible for providing the leadership and management of Stonesfield Primary School in line with the school’s vision and manage the day-to-day running of the school. There will also be a two day equivalent teaching commitment.
The Executive Headteacher is a part time role. This support will reduce over time as we anticipate the Head of School will develop themselves and their role to deliver school leadership at Stonesfield as the Headteacher.
And all this at the leafy heart of a vibrant village community within a beautiful and historic part of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Think dinosaurs. And the roofs of Oxford colleges!
You’ll find much more about our school, the role, and the personal qualities and capabilities that it requires in the prospectus, but the best way to explore this would be to email us and come for a visit, and to see the potential that is waiting here for you.
