Headteacher - Regents Park Community Primary School

Regents Park Community Primary School, located in Small Heath, Birmingham, is a thriving two-form entry local authority primary school with a Nursery.

With the upcoming retirement of our valued and respected Headteacher at the end of the summer term, the Governors are seeking a visionary leader to take on the role of Headteacher. The successful candidate will provide stability and strategic direction, building on the school's clear vision to be at the heart of an ambitious and settled local community. Our school has long been a cornerstone of the community, and we take great pride in this tradition. We seek a Headteacher who will lead our school community with ambition, focusing on pupils' attainment, well-being, and individual outcomes. The new Headteacher will also continue to strengthen the vital partnerships between home, school, and community to support the learning and development of all children.

The ideal candidate will have strong leadership experience and a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by schools both locally and nationally. They should be capable of devising and implementing effective solutions to address these challenges. Our school maintained its 'Good' judgement in the most recent ungraded inspection in December 2021. Therefore, we are seeking a candidate who can confidently demonstrate our continued success and address the school's developmental priorities as it experiences its next inspection. Our goal is to provide a rich and exciting curriculum with the highest quality of teaching and learning, ensuring that children enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their personal, social, and academic education. Our school community's motto is, 'Believe in yourself – anything is possible!'

Regents Park Community Primary School boasts a highly skilled and dedicated staff team who are enthusiastic and committed to creating a warm, caring, and friendly learning environment. The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to offer aspirational and collaborative leadership.

The successful candidate will also:

• maintain high standards of progress and attainment, whilst being aspirational for the children ensuring they are well equipped for the next stage of their learning journey

• provide inspirational leadership, ensuring delivery of educational excellence through the highest possible standards of teaching and learning

• build and develop a positive culture within the school: it will be one which supports an effective learning environment which is caring, nurturing and inclusive, with a particular focus on staff and pupil wellbeing

• maintain and build, where necessary, links with stakeholders within the community and elsewhere
