Headteacher

• Be a committed practising Catholic with a clear vision and strong dedication to Catholic education.
• Demonstrate proven leadership skills and a passion for making a difference in children's lives.
• Inspire, motivate, and support staff and pupils, while fostering positive relationships with parents, governors, parish, and the wider community.
• Continue to raise aspirations and achievement through challenge and support.
• Secure and sustain high-quality teaching and learning, with a focus on long-term improvement.
• Uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and welfare for pupils and staff.

We can offer:

• Enthusiastic and motivated pupils who are proud of their school.
• A welcoming and caring ethos rooted in the Catholic faith.
• A dedicated and talented staff team, committed to working in partnership with families.

We, the Governors of St. James Catholic Primary School, wish to invite applications for the post of Headteacher, following the retirement of our current, long standing Headteacher in August 2026. This will provide an excellent opportunity for a practising Catholic leader to guide our popular, well loved, school and its community in its next chapter.
