The Governing Board is excited to welcome a new inspirational leader to our school community to take us into the next phase of the school’s history.

St Anne's Fulshaw is a voluntary controlled Church of England Primary School sitting in the heart of Wilmslow's Fulshaw community. We were rated Good in our last OFSTED inspection (March 2023) which stated:
'Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable. They are deeply respectful and considerate of each other ....Pupils are extremely eager learners. They comment that their teachers make learning fun."

As a Church of England School, we also have a SIAMS inspection. Our last inspection was in 2018 when we were rated as Outstanding and the report stated "St Anne's Fulshaw is an extremely happy, caring and inclusive school... Those with additional needs are effectively supported with careful thought given to each pupil as an individual."

At St Anne’s we are proud of our kind, nurturing learning community where life is lived to the full. Our inclusive approach, based on a strong foundation of Christian values, ensures that everyone is welcome, is valued, has high aspirations and is given opportunity to flourish in every area of life. St Anne’s Fulshaw is a family where every member of staff knows each child and we are proud to work in partnership with families to ensure that our children reach their full potential. Our small size and small class sizes ensure lots of individual care and attention for each child and we welcome a diverse range of pupils from both the local community and further afield.

We have a Reception class and three mixed age classes.

We are looking for a leader who:

• Is a dedicated and inspirational leader

• Can communicate well and build collaborative relationships with staff, pupils, parents/carers, the local community and the Parish Church
• Will maintain the nurturing ethos of the school and build upon our currentsuccesses and strengths
• Is committed to continuously improving outcomes for all
• Prioritises safeguarding, welfare and the wellbeing of pupils and staff

We can offer the chance to work with:

• Happy, friendly and well-behaved pupils who enjoy all that our school has tooffer
• A dedicated and experienced staff team who are fully committed to continuousimprovement
• A supportive Governing Board who keep the wellbeing and education of ourpupils at the heart of every decision they make

We have a stable, experienced and committed team of teachers and staff, an active PTA and a supportive Governing Board and all are focused on the continued success and development of the school. We believe that our pupil’s prospects are enhanced by a strong working relationship between parents, teachers, governors and the Church itself.
