Headteacher of Primary School
Job description
Headteacher
Feltham | Outer London | January 2027 Start
"A school built on resilient minds, respectful hearts, high aspirations and a commitment to helping every child fulfil their potential."
This is a rare opportunity to lead a growing primary school community through an exciting stage of its journey, strengthening school culture, uniting a shared vision and driving the next phase of improvement. For a leader who thrives on challenge and wants to leave a lasting legacy, opportunities like this don't come around often.
The Opportunity
You'll be joining a school with strong foundations and clear ambition, where your leadership will help:
✔ Build a united and high-performing school community
✔ Raise standards in teaching, learning and pupil outcomes
✔ Ensure strong progress across all primary phases
✔ Champion inclusion and strengthen SEND provision
✔ Lead strategic school improvement and sustainable growth
✔ Inspire staff, pupils and families around a shared vision
Who We're Looking For
We're seeking an experienced Headteacher or an exceptional senior leader ready for Headship who can demonstrate:
✅ A proven track record of raising standards and improving outcomes
✅ Significant whole-school leadership experience
✅ Strong curriculum, teaching and learning expertise
✅ Experience leading successful school improvement initiatives
✅ A commitment to inclusion and high expectations for all pupils
✅ The ability to develop, inspire and retain high-performing staff
✅ Strong financial and resource management skills
✅ Confidence building relationships with governors, families and the wider community
✅ Resilience, integrity and the ability to lead through change
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a Headship.
It's an opportunity to shape the future of a growing primary school community, build on strong foundations and make a lasting difference to the lives of children and families.
Rarely does a leadership opportunity offer the chance to combine strategic growth, cultural development and school improvement on this scale.
Interested?
If you're an ambitious and inspirational leader who is passionate about transforming outcomes for children and creating a culture of excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
Lead the next chapter. Build the vision. Create the legacy.
