Information

We are Broadway Primary School, a vibrant, inclusive and ambitious school at the heart of our local community. And we are looking for you, someone who shares our values and vision, to become our next Headteacher and lead us into the future.

This is a rare opportunity to build on strong foundations and lead a school that already has so much to be proud of. In our most recent Ofsted inspection (January 2025), our Early Years provision was judged outstanding, and our broad, engaging curriculum was praised for its ambition and inclusive design.

We believe in developing the whole child through our GROW curriculum:
Get up and go, Rich in language, Our Broadway family, Wonder and awe.
It’s more than a framework; it’s how we bring learning to life. We want our children to be confident, caring and curious individuals, ready for the world ahead. That begins with a culture rooted in respect, empathy, and environmental stewardship.

At Broadway, we:

Celebrate care, cooperation and curiosity as the foundation of our school culture.

Help every child thrive through personalised learning, targeted interventions and inclusive practices like our Learning Hubs.

Believe play is powerful – our Platinum OPAL Award-winning outdoor learning environment is a proud example of that.

Encourage teamwork and community spirit through our house point system and house charities.

We are proud of what we have achieved – but we’re not standing still! We are excited about what comes next, and we hope you are the right person to help shape and deliver it.

We want you to:

Champion and further develop our GROW curriculum and inclusive ethos.

Lead with authenticity, compassion and high expectations of both staff and children.

Strengthen our role in the local community and keep Broadway the first-choice school for local families.

In return, you will join a school full of pride, warmth and ambition. You will work alongside a talented and committed staff team, a supportive Governing Board, and, most importantly, children who are caring, curious and full of potential.

Whether you are an experienced Headteacher or a Deputy ready for your first headship, we would love to hear from you. Most of all, we would love to meet you, so come and visit us, see our school in action, and experience the £BroadwayFamily for yourself.

To arrange a visit, please get in touch with Mrs Lindsey Yates, School Business Manager, at sbm@broadway.lancs.sch.uk or call 01706 229832. If you have any questions about the role, you are also very welcome to contact the Chair of Governors, Tom McEvoy, directly at chair@broadway.lancs.sch.uk.

We can’t wait to welcome the next person who will lead Broadway into its next exciting phase. Could it be you?
