Scunthorpe Church of England Primary School is a friendly and welcoming school which has been judged by Ofsted to be ‘good’. We are situated in the centre of Scunthorpe and are proud of our community links. Due to the promotion of the previous postholder, we are looking to appoint a new Headteacher.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to lead our school, which was described recently as the golden strand of hope weaving through the tapestry of life of the local community (SIAMS 2024). We are an inclusive and caring church school family that provides a place of acceptance and hope in our community. We recognise that everyone has immeasurable potential, given the opportunity to shine. We courageously strive to pursue excellence in all that we do.
Our vision is to equip our school community to respond positively to life’s challenges and develop ambition and hope for the future. We celebrate our diversity and work hard to provide an inclusive and equitable environment for everyone. We are a church school that is integral to our multi-racial and multi-faith community. Our values and beliefs underpin our day-to-day learning, teaching and relationships. We have motivated staff who work hard to make sure every child thrives. School leaders have been recognised for their bold decisions. Parents are supportive and appreciative.
We are particularly proud of our pioneering award as a School of Sanctuary which recognises our achievement in welcoming our multi-cultural community.
The successful candidate will:
- Be an inspirational, motivational and compassionate leader, valuing our staff through challenging development opportunities
- Be committed to helping our children flourish and exceed their full potential through an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum
- Build an open, positive, and constructive relationship with the governing body based on trust
- Enable organisational improvement through the development of a culture of commitment
- Develop a deep connection with the community that you serve as Headteacher
- Work in mutually beneficial partnerships with other organisations, based on our values
We can offer you:
- A welcoming, friendly, inclusive school with well-motivated staff and enthusiastic children
- Strong Christian Ethos and Values encouraging an awareness of the meaning and significance of faith
- A very supportive local cluster of schools, local authority and Diocese.
- Strong links with the parish, local nurseries and the community support teams, including Community Centres.
Our school is a happy place where children want to attend and learn. We invite you to come and visit our school, meet our children and staff, and experience our warm and friendly welcome.
