Full-time Headteacher

Job Description

Burnham-on-Crouch Primary is a popular school in a delightful community, benefiting from talented staff and enthusiastic, friendly pupils. Our recent Ofsted inspection in November judged the school to be "good" in all areas and stated:

• "Teaching is good across the school and pupils achieve well in most subjects, including reading, writing and mathematics."
• "Relationships between teachers and pupils are strong." "Pupils behave well and demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning, taking pride in their work."
• "Parents and carers are highly positive about the school…"

In September the school "rebranded", with a new uniform and a strong vision to connect with the wider world.
