Headteacher Vacancy
Dear Prospective Applicant,
On behalf of the pupils, staff and governors at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, I thank you for your interest in the post of Head Teacher at our school. I hope the information in this pack about our school, its background and our ethos and values will be useful in deciding if this post will be right for both you and our lovely school.
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary school is a special place where each child is cared for and valued. With the planned departure of our Head Teacher, we are looking to appoint a permanent, substantive Head Teacher who will ensure that Our Lady of Lourdes continues to provide a broad and rich curriculum, well taught by excellent staff, and rooted in gospel values. Our school received a ‘requires improvement’ judgement from Ofsted in 2023 and a ‘good’ in our Section 48 inspection in 2022.
Our children are happy, well-disciplined, and eager to learn. Our teaching staff are passionate and committed and are keen to welcome an excellent Head Teacher. Parents are supportive, and we have an energetic and dedicated Parents and Friends Association (PFA).
This is a tremendous opportunity for someone with drive, imagination, and flair to make a positive contribution to the growth of our school and the lives and futures of our children. I look forward very much to receiving your application.
On behalf of our Governors, I extend a warm welcome to come and visit our school. Just ring and speak to our Business Manager, Mrs Jayne Russell on 01454 867160, or email at [email protected] to make the arrangements.
Yours sincerely,
Joan Curran
Chair of Governors
