Headteacher
Full time
L15 - L21
From September 2024
We are looking for an inspirational Headteacher to deliver an outstanding education for all our children while developing and sustaining the school's ethos and strategic direction.
The Headteacher will promote an ambitious culture and practices that enable all pupils to access the whole curriculum, with high expectation for all pupils including those who are disadvantaged and those with SEN and disabilities.
The ideal candidate will be a confident leader with passion, positivity and enthusiasm who will continue the school development creating a culture and environment where pupils experience a positive and enriching school life.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff. For more information on what it is like to work for the Trust, and the benefits you could access, please see our “Working in RLT” guide.
This role includes regulated activity relevant to children.
