Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of Bolton Brow Primary Academy.

Are you an outstanding leader looking for your first headship?

Are you already a successful headteacher seeking a new challenge?

We believe that the role of a successful headteacher, supported by effective senior leaders, is absolutely vital in making a substantial impact on driving our academy’s performance whilst sustaining its existing values and ethos. Our Headteacher has moved on in his career after more than 7 dedicated and successful years at Bolton Brow Primary Academy. Our governors are therefore looking for an experienced senior leader who can combine a track record of outstanding classroom practice and successful management of teams with up to date knowledge and understanding of current and evolving education and school systems, both locally and nationally.

The successful candidate will be joining a forward-thinking academy which is a founder member of the Together Learning Trust (TLT) which currently comprises five schools (three primary and two secondary) within West Yorkshire. We have developed strong links within our community and are also active within the Sowerby Bridge Primary Schools cluster, working effectively with all local schools. We similarly work alongside parents and carers to further develop a pupil-centred place of learning which is dedicated to the promotion of a safe and vibrant environment in which children thrive.

In addition to our primary education, we run a successful nursery provision in which the adoption of a ‘child-led’ approach to schooling focuses heavily on children’s individual interests and learning styles. Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on exploration and discovery whilst valuing respect and responsibility to promote the importance of community.

Our pupils are truly special: they are enthusiastic and passionate about their school and devised our strap line ‘Proud to be Brow’. It is expected that our new headteacher will not only share this pride in our achievements but will also nurture a caring and sharing environment, ensuring that the school remains, for both pupils and staff, an enjoyable place in which to learn and work respectively, thus maximising the full potential of children and adults alike.

It is anticipated that you will already be a confident and impressive communicator with the ambition to further develop the curriculum to enhance the academic learning and achievements of our pupils. You will be ably supported by a hard-working and competent staff team as well as an experienced governing body with a diverse range of skills and expertise.

Due to the current measures imposed on schools in relation to social distancing we regret it may not be possible to arrange visits to the school. However, if you require any further information about either the role or the school itself (or indeed the Together Learning Trust MAT) please contact Julie Banham (School Administrator) either by telephone (01422 831031) or by email (admin@boltonbrow.calderdale.sch.uk).  

We strongly recommend that you take the time to visit one or both of our websites which are (for the school) boltonbrow.com and (for the MAT) togetherlearningtrust.co.uk.    

An applicant pack and application form can be downloaded below or from boltonbrow.com.

Please return your completed application form, via email to: admin@togetherlearningtrust.co.uk

Closing date for applications: Friday 5 February 2021 (by 12 noon).

Proposed date for assessments/interviews: Thursday 25 February and Friday 26 February 2021.

Bolton Brow Primary Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students. All staff and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
