Lead, Shape, Influence
Currently rated as Requires Improvement by Ofsted, Brompton & Sawdon School represents an excellent opportunity for a headteacher to Lead, Shape and Influence our future by building on the improvements already put in place.
Brompton-by-Sawdon Parish lies on the northern edge of the Vale of Pickering. It comprises the two villages of Brompton-by-Sawdon (the larger) and Sawdon, together with surrounding farm land.
Our mission is to deliver primary education of the highest standard in a caring environment and on a highly individual basis. We aim to provide a happy, stimulating environment where every child will have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The size and structure of the school enables the children to value and support each other, leading to the development of a supportive, cohesive community.
The school has strong and positive relationships with parents and a largely changed governing body which is supportive, hands on and plays an active role in the school’s development.
We are seeking to appoint a committed and experienced professional with a remit to further shape our improvement plan while continuing to raise standards.
Able to effectively motivate inspire and influence pupils, staff and stakeholders, you will assume responsibility for all aspects of school life. This will include directing the school’s strategic planning, leading the development of the curriculum and delivering an outstanding provision which meets the needs of all our young people.
To succeed, you must be a proven leader and manager with a good understanding of the needs and demands of a small rural school. An excellent communicator, your ability to develop a small team, maximise pupil numbers and manage positive change will be key to your success.
In return, we can offer you strong support, the freedom to shape the future of the school and the opportunity for your continued professional development.
