Job Introduction
We currently have a rare vacancy for an experienced leader to join our passionate and committed team. We are seeking a caring and dedicated Early Years and KS1 leader with proven experience of leading a team to achieve positive outcomes for children.
Would you relish creating a supportive, collaborative culture rooted in the principles of making it right for every child, maximising learning time, effective assessment for learning, and positive learning behaviours? Are you passionate about nurturing each child’s potential, and committed to developing an engaging, inclusive infant curriculum and inspiring learning environments from the ground up? Does your approach combine high expectations with warmth and care, ensuring children feel safe, confident, and motivated to learn and flourish?
Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Steep Church of England Primary School offers a unique learning environment that inspires a love of learning and a real sense of awe and wonder. Strong, supportive relationships, excellent teaching, and an exciting curriculum ensure that every child develops the belief, determination, and resilience to achieve their very best and begin to realise their dreams.
Steep’s Victorian building has been thoughtfully extended to provide an excellent learning environment. Alongside our indoor spaces, including a library and hall, the school benefits from an area of ancient woodland, a spiritual garden, and an outdoor classroom. We also make full use of the common adjacent to the school, enriching children’s experiences through outdoor learning.
As a member of staff at Steep, you will be part of a highly skilled and collaborative team working closely with parents. We are passionate about ongoing professional development and have a strong track record of supporting staff to gain recognised leadership qualifications and progress to deputy headship and headship roles.
Visits are warmly welcome.
If this sounds like the school for you, we would love to hear from you.
