Head Teacher

Headteacher at St Barnabas Primary School

The children, staff, parents and Governors of St Barnabas CE Primary School and EQUA Mead Learning Trust are looking for a new Headteacher with vision, enthusiasm and leadership to take an active part in shaping the next stage in our journey of being a growing, successful village school within the wider community of EQUA Mead. We are keen to welcome:

• A passionate Headteacher who will be an active part of the school, engaging and communicating with all members of the school community. They will provide interactive leadership to the staff, taking advantage of their experience and knowledge and enthusiasm for change.

• A visionary Headteacher who will be an active member of the wider EQUA Mead Learning Trust community, who can see the opportunities for the school and staff through shared resources, shared experiences and shared expertise.

• An enthusiastic Headteacher who is seeking to develop themselves in the role, bringing new ideas and fresh thinking and encouraging others to share their vision. Someone who will create a culture of inclusive continuous development and improvement within the school.

• A Headteacher who is also an exceptional teacher, who wants to continue to teach as part of the role (there is a teaching commitment as well as curriculum leadership of a specific subject area), but they should also see it as a way of supporting staff by freeing time for their development.

• A Headteacher who enjoys the challenges and rewards of working in a small school and working with the church, supporting the values and ethos of the Diocese.

• An individual who can communicate effectively the with wider community, to foster relationships and to take mutual advantage of the goodwill and support that the Village offers
