  • Is an excellent team player, able to establish effective working relationships with all stakeholders.
  • Is committed to the school’s vision and values

We can offer:


  • A friendly, strong and supportive team, with happy and polite children.
  • Strong and comprehensive professional development opportunities available
  • Supportive parents and Governing Body.
  • Opportunity to shape the direction of the school as part of the school’s wider leadership team.

BarkislandC E (VA) Primary School is committed to the protection and safeguarding of its pupils, and this will be reflected throughout the recruitment process. An enhanced criminal record check via the DBS will be required.


To find out more about the role, please contact school and we can arrange a visit or phone call at a mutually convenient time.

This post also includes an additional 37.5 hours to be worked flexibly over the school holiday periods.


Closing date for applications: Friday 16th January 2026
