You will be committed to working with, and in, the wider school community, ensuring its needs are met and diversity reflected and celebrated within the school. Our expectation is that the headteacher of our school will strive for the best, continually develop educational provision and create a positive inclusive culture and environment that prioritises emotional wellbeing and fosters success for all.
