We seek another inspirational and progressive headteacher. Following our recent successful Estyn Inspection and after eight years, our previous Head Teacher is moving on to the next stage of her long and successful career in education. Trelai Primary School is a calm and happy place for pupils to learn and develop safely and successfully. School leaders, teachers and support staff know each child well and understand how to nurture individuals to get the best from them. The headteacher and senior leaders and governing body form a dedicated team that drives improvement and expects commitment from others. They have a very good track record of improvement in recent years and have brought about considerable change that has led to significant progress. Pupils are happy in school, and, over time, they become confident to try new experiences and contribute fully to school life. Staff understand the community the school serves and recognise the challenges many families face. They offer pupils a broad range of interesting experiences that help them to develop the skills, knowledge, understanding and resilience that they will need to thrive in the outside world. This contributes to the good progress pupils make, often from very low starting points. Staff provide a wide range of opportunities for pupils to become active citizens and develop their awareness of important social issues, including racism and anti-bullying. The school places a strong focus on pupils' well-being and inclusion for all. Staff provide a nurturing environment where pupils feel valued and safe. Throughout the school year we have many visitors to the school and invariably we receive very positive feedback to how the children learn, and the positive environment in which this takes place. This is due to the immense effort made by all members of the Trelai school community. We believe that we can only achieve the best through close cooperation between home and school. First and foremost, this person must care passionately about our children, all their thinking and decisions will be influenced by this. In addition, they will be able to show how they: Look beyond the school gates and reach out to others, parents, carers, governors, partners, neighbourhood schools and the wider community. Live by their values and are compassionate, honest, open, fair, and tolerant. Embrace diversity, in all its forms, and build trusting relationships and vibrant communities. Lead others on challenging, innovative, journeys encouraging collaboration for the benefit of the whole team and inclusion and success for every individual. Be brave, resilient, and prepared to challenge and lead change for the benefit of the school. Really want to make a difference to the lives of young people. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate proven success in a range of strategic roles including data management, self-evaluation, and school improvement. They will also have tangible experience and ability to: Lead, manage and motivate staff and pupils to achieve high standards. Articulate and communicate a clear vision of high-quality educational provision for the school. Listen and communicate effectively with all partners, further developing our close relationships with parents, carers, and the community. What we have to offer you:- Fantastic young people who are enthusiastic about coming to school and cannot wait to meet you. A highly professional, talented, innovative, and happy teaching and support team who are committed to progression and change to further the development of the school. A strong and supportive community of parents and wider community members. A supportive, committed and engaged Governing Body who are dedicated to working in partnership to achieve the best for all our children. Our vision is to send out pupils from Trelai Primary School who are motivated, caring, confident and skills equipped for their future. For this to be achieved we strive to ensure that all pupils can use their skills in Literacy and Numeracy in a variety of contexts. We also work hard to ensure that our pupils are confident in the use of digital technology. We now live in an increasingly digital age, and we need to ensure our pupils can flourish in the 21st Century. Our mission is to enable our pupils to thrive in a happy, safe, and stimulating learning environment where all our school community feel valued and can reach their potential as individuals. Our curriculum is broad and exciting. We offer a wide range of activities that give all pupils an opportunity to develop their talents. Our website is constantly being updated, so please navigate around so you can see what we at Trelai Primary School can offer. This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to take our school to the next stage in its development.
