What skills and experience we're looking for
Lowfield Primary is a diverse, happy and caring school at the heart of a vibrant, supportive community.
Our aim is to ensure that every one of our pupils, irrespective of ability or needs, receives the best possible education. All children deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential – this belief is at the heart of everything we do.
Here at Lowfield, we have high expectations of staff and pupils alike. Though we place great emphasis on good quality teaching, we recognise that our responsibility to our pupils goes beyond teaching and learning. Through a broad and balanced curriculum, delivered in a calm and supportive environment, we provide for the development of the mental, cultural, spiritual and physical welfare of all our children.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join the school as it has been selected by the DfE for a major refurbishment. With works scheduled to commence inJune 2027, our next headteacher will have the unique opportunity to help shape the school’s future as we transition intomodern, purpose-built facilitiesdesigned to inspire both pupils and staff.
We are looking for a friendly, inspirational and outward-facing school leader who:
• has a demonstrable record of delivering whole school improvement in a senior leadership role.
• recognises, celebrates and promotes diversity, and has a clear understanding of what it means to lead a multicultural school.
• has a ‘can-do’ attitude and the strategic vision to guide the school through a complex and dynamic education landscape.
• has an inclusive approach to education and shares our commitment to ensure every child achieves.
• is committed to the wellbeing of the whole school community, making sure Lowfield remains a happy, safe and rewarding place in which to learn, work and play.
What the school offers its staff
In return, we can offer you:
• the opportunity to lead an enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated staff team.
• the support of our families, friends and the wider community.
• the governing body’s commitment to your wellbeing and ongoing professional development.
