Headteacher – Lutterworth High School – Leicestershire

The governors are seeking to appoint an exceptional person to lead this 11-16 school into the next phase of its development. The post arises due to the retirement of the Headteacher, Mrs Nora Parker, after eight years of outstanding leadership.

The school was judged outstanding by Ofsted in 2012, and is highly regarded in its community. The successful candidate will have 11-16/19 experience and lead the school through to full transition to 11-16 and sustain high standards of achievement and personal development for all students. Currently, there are 763 students in Years 7 to 10. The first Year 11 cohort will take public examinations in summer of 2017. Student numbers will rise to around 820 and then settle at 750 as the transitional arrangements are completed.

The school is located in the attractive market town of Lutterworth, some 15 miles south of Leicester. The town has excellent national transport links.

Application forms, further details and an information pack are available from the school or the school’s website.

Visits to the school by prospective candidates are warmly welcomed by appointment during the week commencing 30 November 2015. Please contact Mrs Pam Morey to arrange a visit.
A completed application form and a letter of application (explaining why you are applying for the post and demonstrating how you meet the requirements of the job description and person specification in no more than 1500 words) should be returned by email to Mrs Pam Morey, Clerk to Governors, by noon on Wednesday 9 December 2015.

Short-listed candidates will be notified by email and by telephone on Friday 11 December. Requests for references will be made on the same day.

During the period 7 to 14 January 2016, a representative of the governors would hope to meet with the short-listed candidates in their own schools.
Interviews are scheduled for Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 January 2016.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The post is subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Disclosure Certificate.
