Job Information

The vacancy arises upon the retirement of Mrs Donna O’Toole at the end of the summer term 2024.

Wylde Green School is a 2 form-entry primary school for pupils aged 4 to 11 years, which currently has 414 pupils on roll. We are a welcoming school at the heart of our diverse community that has high expectations for its children, both academically and socially. Our recent Ofsted (Dec 24) identified that the school’s development of pupils’ character was ‘exceptional.’ Our children have the opportunity to take part in activities within the wider curriculum and are encouraged to do so.

We are blessed with truly amazing children who want to learn, behave and take an active part in being part of the wider community. We are looking for a person to join and lead our extremely dedicated and hard-working staff into the next phase of our journey.

The successful candidate will be expected to take up the appointment at the beginning of the autumn term 2025.

We encourage all interested applicants to contact the school and arrange an informal visit.
