Upon the pending retirement of the current Headteacher, Governors are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational Headteacher, with the energy and drive to ensure the schools continued success and the vision to deliver change in the years ahead.

Our school has a strong reputation for academic excellence, and exceptional pastoral care, where students take pride in being part of the school community. The school provides a supportive and ambitious learning environment where every student is encouraged to fulfil their potential both academically, and personally.

The school is part of the school’s rebuilding project with a new STEM building project planned to start in 2027.

We welcome interest and applications from both serving Headteachers or Deputy Headteachers looking to progress to Headship.
