Information

Due to the current post-holder successfully moving into Deputy Headship, we are now looking for a highly motivated leader or aspiring leader who will have excellent impact upon all members of our school community, but particularly across EYFS and KS1. First and foremost, we are looking to appoint an outstanding teacher with excellent inter-personal skills who is committed to getting the best out of others in order to get only the best for our children.

Standards of attainment and behaviour at our school are good at our one-form entry Primary School, and we are now ready to move on to the next stage of our journey. We are therefore looking for an enthusiastic leader with a ‘can-do attitude’ who can join our supportive team and help to make our mission slogan even more of a reality for the children at St Gregory’s. Staff well-being is a strength of our school, as is our ‘caring ethos’. We feel our recent Ofsted report is a fair reflection of our school: https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/119609

As the post-holder will take on extra leadership responsibilities, this role comes with a Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR) payment attached – to be negotiated dependent on experience or areas identified for the successful candidate to oversee. 

Visits to the school are encouraged, please ring the school office (01772 795415) to book in. Please also visit the school website to get an even better ‘flavour’ for our school. (https://www.stgregorysps.co.uk/)
