HEADTEACHER required for September 2026
Salary: L18 - L24 (Inner London)
Full time
The CEO and Trustees of Britannia Education Trust are looking to appoint a Headteacher for Britannia Village Primary School.
Britannia Education Trust is a dynamic, recently formed trust in London’s Docklands with two 2FE primary schools. Britannia Village Primary School is a very popular, well established good school and Royal Wharf is an equally popular, oversubscribed, brand new school, in an award winning building. The schools are a 5 minute walk apart and staff at all levels work closely together.
We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, motivational leader who will commit long term to the school and be ambitious for its staff and students.
You will be someone with a track record of leading school improvement to secure high standards in teaching and learning, ideally with experience in inner-city, multicultural areas. You will have a sound understanding of the social, economic and educational challenges faced by children and families with low incomes and experience in building positive and trusting relationships with parents and carers. You will be a team player who can inspire and motivate a team of leaders, teachers and support staff to secure the highest standards, building upon an established teaching and learning culture. Your focus will be to ensure all children make rapid progress and are supported and nurtured to achieve their very best as they participate in the Trust’s shared creative curriculum.
You would be part of the Executive Leadership Team, which includes the CEO/Executive Headteacher, both headteachers, the CFO and Trust Business Manager. This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated and inspirational leader to take our school to the next level.
