The Vacancy
Start date: 1st September 2025
The Governors, staff and children are seeking a motivational and experienced leader for our fantastic school. The successful candidate will have an outstanding skill set which will facilitate the further development of our culture of achievement for all, innovation, and inclusion, which in turn will prepare our children for their future.
Following a successful Ofsted inspection in November 2019, when the school was assessed as Good, and a SIAMS inspection in Spring 2024, where the school was judged as Excellent, the school has continued on an improvement journey to provide a rounded educational experience to all our pupils.
Wootton St. Andrew’s is proud of being a Voluntary Aided Church of England School within the Diocese of Lincoln and maintains close links with both the Diocese and the local parish church.
A strong governing body contributes regularly to the life of the school by, among other things, listening to readers, helping with maths, leading worship and accompanying trips. The Governors have a wide ranging skill-set. In the 2024 SIAMS report, the governors were described as “Exceptional”.
The teaching staff is very stable; indeed the “newest” teacher has been at the school for ten years.
We have a big focus on pastoral care, health and wellbeing and the successful candidate will be committed to ensuring the best possible outcome for every child.
We are looking for someone who has proven leadership skills and:
- will continue to develop the school whilst retaining our caring and inclusive ethos, ensuring that no child is left behind.
- will be inspirational and continue to provide clear vision and strong leadership, thinking creatively to anticipate and solve problems.
- has a passion for learning.
- will inspire trust and the mutual respect of everyone in our community.
- will be a strong, fair leader with an unwavering determination to continue to raise standards.
- will lead by example, with an open and honest communication style that will challenge, support and motivate others.
- will have high aspirations for our children, challenging all to do their best and to be ambitious both academically and personally.
- will manage resources effectively to ensure the best provision for our school.
If you feel that you would enjoy the challenge that this role offers and would like to join our dedicated and supportive team, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please visit our school’s website to find out more about our school (www.woottonstandrews.co.uk). We would be delighted to meet you and show you around our school.
