We are offering a £5,000 relocation package for candidates relocating from outside Devon or Cornwall. St Helen's is in a period of change, and we are seeking a Headteacher who can manage not only the change for the parents, children and colleagues but also ensure a strong curriculum offer delivering inclusive practice, effective pedagogical practice and outcomes in place, and that it unashamedly privileges the most underserved children. The Learning Academy Partnership is driven by mission and beliefs ensuring that every child has the right to live life to the full. We are committed to improving educational outcomes for underserved children across the South-West and breaking down barriers to social mobility. Our Headteachers achieve this through a rich, vibrant curriculum delivered by excellent teachers. You will be joining a strong, single organisation, culture of collective efficacy and one that is rooted in our Christian foundation. We are passionate about our role in social justice in our communities and tackling stubborn South West deprivation. As a Church School leader, you will uphold and develop the school's Christian distinctiveness through its educational offer. We welcome applicants with or without prior experience of leading a Church school. We offer full induction and support as you embark on a journey as a church school leader. You will benefit from excellent systems and support from the Business Support team who manage all aspects of the operations, leaving you space to lead teaching and learning.
