Job description

Are you a successful leader able to empower, develop, support and challenge everyone to achieve their potential? Would you like your leadership journey to bring you to a small, friendly school with a strong and supportive community?

This position offers a fantastic opportunity to build on your career whilst creating a positive impact on pupil development and staff leadership. We offer a strong foundation in a ‘Good’ school (Ofsted November 2022) which is ready for an exciting future as we prepare our children for the opportunities and challenges which lie ahead.

We are seeking a strong leader, able to ‘find the best in everyone.’ You will have the highest expectations of yourself and the whole school team, with the skills and ability to engage with all community stakeholders.

Felbridge Primary School will be joining Tandridge Learning Trust from September 2024 and as such, you will have the support of a professional shared services team, enthusiastic and passionate school-based staff and committed local governors, who are all keen to warmly welcome you. As a community, we work together to create a caring, inclusive environment in which pupils can grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

We can offer:

• Wonderful, well-behaved children who love their learning.
• Highly committed and dedicated staff who want the best for every child in our care
• A modern school set alongside a beautiful, historic building, with plenty of outdoor space including its own woodland and history aplenty!
• An ongoing commitment to your professional career development
• The chance to be part of a growing Trust which is committed to collaboration, sharing best practice and professional learning
• A professional shared services team which provides Compliance, Finance, HR, IT and Marketing support and advice
• Excellent staff benefits, support and activities

At Tandridge Learning Trust, we believe that local schools working positively together can transform the life chances of young people in our community, enabling them to thrive and succeed. We cherish the identity and individuality of each of our schools whilst maximising our combined strengths and skills to reduce workloads and bureaucracy wherever we can. Our core values of Equity, Collaboration and Integrity guide our interactions and support our combined decision-making. If you are passionate about delivering the highest quality education for our children, are aspirational for our community and have high expectations of everyone you work with, then we would truly welcome your application.

Located on the beautiful borders of Surrey and West Sussex, Felbridge Primary School has a traditional ‘village’ feel, with excellent transport links to London, Gatwick and the south coast. We encourage you to visit so that you can see for yourself all we have to offer!

Please contact Judith Standen, HR Manager, if you would like further information, to organise a pre-application visit or to arrange an informal discussion with our Chief Executive. We look forward to hearing from you.
