Are you a talented Primary leader looking for a new exciting challenge? If so you may just be the person we are looking for.

If you are a current or aspiring headteacher, with the passion and commitment to continue the Rosehill Vision, we would like to hear from you.

Ofsted (May 2018) reported: The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have established a strong staff team which shares your ambitious vision for the school and all its pupils. Governors and the local authority have full confidence in you and your senior leaders to take the school even further. Staff, parents and carers have an overwhelmingly positive view of the school and all the pupils I met reported that they feel safe and happy. There are many opportunities for extra-curricular learning activities and the curriculum in broad and enriching.

Our much-respected Headteacher is retiring after 20 years at the school, therefore Governors are looking to appoint an inspirational and innovative headteacher to lead our school to the next level of performance. Someone who will continue to challenge and improve the quality of teaching and learning, think strategically and creatively and support our children and families whilst maintaining positive relationships with staff, pupils, governors and the wider community.

We are a single phase junior school with a strong, well established vision which guides all of our daily work, it is shared by all and focuses closely upon the children.

Our Vision

The education we provide will be of the best possible quality. Within an ethos of rights, respect and responsibility, each person’s unique value is acknowledged, their needs recognised and their talents fully nurtured, enabling all our children to reach their full potential as successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.

We are looking for an experienced leader to drive the school improvement agenda, further raise attainment and accelerate progress for all children and young people, embracing the opportunities and support provided by the LA.

Candidates are expected to support the school’s promotion of British Values. 

Informal discussions about the role and a visit to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged. Please contact Ruth Oggelsby (Clerk to Governors) at the above school address, telephone 01709 710574 to make an appointment to visit the school.
