HEADTEACHER Due to imminent retirement of our current successful headteacher, Central Barrow Schools Federation have a unique opportunity to appoint a new Executive Headteacher working across our two separate sites at Greengate Junior School and Ramsden Infants and Nursery.

Both are currently heading through a transition period where a positive reshaping of the schools' structure and strategy will be crucial to maintain and build on the successes of the previous long serving headteacher. We are looking for a visionary Executive Headteacher who can lead experienced staff through the transition, ensuring that our values, standards and community spirit remain strong while we adapt to change.

The Executive role is across two good schools within a deprived area, so most pupils start in the Nursery and Infant school below the national expectations but with excellent work from experienced staff leave Key Stage 2 in line of above national average. This is visible through excellent attainment results.

What Skills and Experience we're looking for: Our schools have above national averages of SEND and EHCPs therefore experience in working with and managing Resource Provision (RP) and Alternative Provision (AP) is necessary. This is successfully supported through the senior staffing structures of the schools. Ramsden Infants and Nursery has an Assistant Headteacher working alongside the Ex‐ ecutive Headteacher and Greengate Junior School has 2 Assistant Headteacher working alongside the Executive Headteacher.
