The posting

Key Responsibilities

  • Set and drive an ambitious vision for academic excellence at Homefields, underpinned by rigorous curriculum design and highly effective teaching.
  • Lead, develop and hold to account a talented staff team, building leadership capacity at every level of the school.
  • Use data and evidence - including EMET's TIME reporting model - to track pupil progress and outcomes with precision, intervening early and effectively where needed.
  • Sustain and build on the school's Outstanding behaviour culture and its values of kindness, courage and respect.
  • Broaden the school's offer - academically, culturally and in enrichment - so that it can genuinely compete with the best independent preparatory schools in the region.
  • Build strong, trusted relationships with parents, governors and the local community, maintaining Homefields' strong local reputation and popularity.
  • Work closely with the CEO and Executive Team as an active member of EMET's headteacher community, contributing to Trust-wide school improvement.
  • Ensure the school's safeguarding culture and statutory compliance are of the highest standard at all times.

Person Specification:

Essential

  • Substantial track record of the highest standards of pupil outcomes, ideally including experience in a high-performing or academically selective/aspirational context.
  • Evidence of deep curriculum expertise and academic rigour, with a clear philosophy for how outstanding teaching drives outstanding outcomes.
  • Successful senior leadership experience in primary education, with clear evidence of impact on standards.
  • A genuinely ambitious, aspirational leadership style - someone who benchmarks against the best schools nationally, not just locally.
  • Excellent ability to lead, develop and inspire a staff team, building leadership capacity beyond themselves.
  • Strong relational skills, able to build trust quickly with parents, governors, staff and the wider community.
  • A values-led approach to leadership, consistent with Homefields' ethos of kindness, courage and respect.
  • Excellent understanding of safeguarding and statutory compliance in a primary setting.

Desirable

  • Experience of leading a school through significant improvement in outcomes or reputation.
  • Experience within a Multi-Academy Trust environment.
  • Understanding of, or experience working alongside, the independent sector, and what drives its academic and enrichment offer.
  • National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH), or equivalent evidence of readiness for headship.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
