HEAD OF SCHOOL - Clapham & Patching CE Primary School 

Leadership Scale L5-L9 Pay Range (£46,566 - £51,402 per annum)

Full-time required for September 2021

Following the retirement of the current Headteacher, the local Governing Body and South Downs Education Trust wish to appoint an inspirational Head of School who will work closely with our Chief Executive Headteacher and the Trust to build on our strong Christian foundation and share our whole school vision. This role will include an approximate 0.4. teaching commitment.

Clapham and Patching C of E Primary School is an inclusive and caring school situated in a small village on the outskirts of Worthing. We seek to appoint a dynamic Head of School to continue the high standards of learning within our distinctively Christian ethos that no child is invisible, alongside a creative and exciting learning experience with a focus on high quality outcomes.

As part of the South Downs Education Trust, the school benefits from support with School Improvement and Leadership, Finance, HR, IT and Facilities. In November 2019, the school was rated as ‘good’ by Ofsted.

We would like to hear from you if you can:

  • embody and promote the Christian ethos, values and culture of the school in line with the Church of England’s Vision for Education;
  • drive the strategic leadership of that vision, empowering all pupils and staff to excel;
  • foster strong relationships with the whole school community, whilst positively promoting our school in the wider community;
  • be an approachable, collaborative, organised and inspirational leader; and
  • lead by example as an outstanding classroom practitioner.

We can offer you:

  • a dedicated, skilled, mutually supportive staff team committed to care for and develop each child,
  • a welcoming school with caring, enthusiastic children who are keen to learn and are supported by their parents and the dedicated Local Governing Body and Trust Board;
  • support in your continued professional development, as part of South Downs Education Trust
  • Free well-being and medical support cover and free use of our brand new fitness suite at Worthing High School
