Due to the forthcoming retirement of our longstanding and highly respected Head teacher, we are seeking an exceptional primary leader to guide Moor Hall Primary School into its next phase of development.

We are looking for an inspirational, aspirational and innovative individual with a clear vision for high-quality education rooted in the values underpinning the ‘Moor Hall Child’:

Achieving Responsible Healthy Confident The successful candidate will champion the wellbeing and development of every child, lead with integrity, and inspire staff and families alike.

At Moor Hall Primary School, our core values are at the heart of everything we do. These values guide us daily, shaping the way we nurture our pupils, deliver teaching, and build a caring, inclusive community. Our child‑centred curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning. We offer a wealth of opportunities for children to learn both in the classroom and outdoors, whether within our wonderful grounds or out and about on educational visits, supporting every child to flourish academically, socially and emotionally.

We firmly believe that high self‑esteem is the foundation for success: when children are happy, confident and resilient, they are equipped to face life’s challenges with determination.

Our talented and dedicated staff set high expectations, fostering a culture of ambition and achievement.

We also place great importance on forging strong partnerships with parents/carers and the wider community, recognising that these relationships enable our pupils to grow, learn and truly thrive.

We benefit from strong collaborative links with other local schools, and we greatly value the unwavering support from our parent body and the wider community, which contributes immensely to our vibrant school life.
