Headteacher

Dear Applicant, On behalf of the pupils, staff, and Governors of Calverley Church of England (Voluntary Aided) Primary School, I would like to thank you for your interest in the post of Headteacher. Calverley CE Primary School is an oversubscribed 1.5-form entry school, set in the heart of the village of Calverley, with strong links to St Wilfrid’s Church and the wider community.

Our Christian ethos is central to all that we do and shapes a school culture that is inclusive and caring, role modelled by our trusted and empowered staff. Children are consistently supported to fulfil their social, emotional, and academic potential through the nurturing relationships established throughout the school community from the time they begin their learning journey with us. This nurturing ethos reflects the school’s vision ‘love, learn, care,’ and was recognised in the ‘good’ outcomes and reports from both the Ofsted inspection of 2023 and SIAMS in 2019.

Our extensive grounds and unique outdoor environment provide rich opportunities for creativity, play and wellbeing. And, as the school looks ahead, a changing educational landscape and evolving pupil numbers also offer an exciting opportunity to think creatively about the future use of our buildings and learning spaces.

The Governing Body is seeking a strong, compassionate and aspirational leader who will bring people together and lead with clarity, warmth and high expectations.
