Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to develop your school leadership skills?

The Stour Federation Multi Academy Trust and governors of Wilmcote CofE Primary School, near Stratford upon Avon, are looking for a committed and motivated leader to build on the strong foundations put in place since the school joined the Trust in September 2024. We recently had a successful SIAMS inspection and secured funding from the Department for Education that enabled us to open a nursery in September 2025.

We can offer an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to progress in their school leadership career.

Wilmcote is an inclusive, friendly school where we put children and their families at the heart of everything we do. We are a Church of England school and celebrate our distinct Christian ethos. We encourage children to be respectful, forgiving and compassionate and we provide a nurturing, inclusive and safe community built on Christian values that inspire positive and trusting relationships between school, families and the wider community.

We are committed to providing the best education within a caring, family atmosphere. In all we do, we aim to instil in our pupils an awareness of their own strengths, abilities, talents and responsibilities so that they can become good citizens in the world in which they live.

• Able to lead on, and commit to, our Christian ethos and values
• An outstanding Primary practitioner, able to lead on an exciting, inclusive and broad curriculum
• Dedicated to ensuring children can flourish in our unique, small school setting
• Able to lead an inclusive and harmonious learning community

• The opportunity to continue to move the school forwards
• Being part of a Trust that will support your journey in leadership
• Children who are full of fun, eager to learn and who embody the school’s family ethos and Christian values
• The opportunity to work in an inclusive and nurturing school community, where staff know all children well, and where children receive great support to enable them to flourish
• The chance to build on our Christian ethos and values
