Required for September 2024, full time

Water Mill Primary School serves the communities of Selly Oak and Harborne. We are a happy, safe, caring community all working hard to ensure that each child achieves their very best and meets or exceeds all expected standards.

We know that children work best when they are happy, interested and challenged and that school life is not just about academic standards, it is also about building positive relationships and participating in a wide variety of activities in and outside of school. Our pupils are encouraged to make decisions about what and how they learn, to be independent, creative and confident.

We are a small, friendly one form entry primary school on the borders of Selly Oak and Harborne, Birmingham. We are proud of the rich diversity of our community and the excellent relationships that exist between pupils, staff, Governors and parents. We believe that together we can make a difference and influence the future.

At our last Ofsted inspection in June 2022 we were judged a 'GOOD' School with 'OUTSTANDING' for Personal Development. Ofsted said:

'Pupils love school life at Water Mill.'

'Pupils work hard and learn well.'

'Pupils are proud of their diverse school community.'

'Personal development is exceptional.'

'Pupils behave well and feel safe.'

'The curriculum enables all pupils to achieve well.'

'Children get off to a good start in early years.'

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to appoint an inspirational leader. This is an exciting opportunity to join our team.

We are looking for someone who :

  • is an ambitious, excellent classroom teacher with a proven track record of raising educational achievement
  • has experience of successfully leading change and inspiring others
  • has a sound knowledge of current educational developments and how they impact on school improvement
  • has strong behaviour management, offering support to staff managing the behaviour of children
  • has a sound knowledge of how to improve attendance
  • is a people person who can develop positive relationships with the whole school community

    What the school offers its staff

    The staff at Water Mill are our most valuable resource and as such we value all that they do for our pupils and each other. Our staff care about the education that they provide and about our pupils.

    Our small, friendly community is welcoming and supportive. It is also a fun place to work because our pupils are so delightful and because we are always looking for new ideas and activities to further develop teaching and learning. We enjoy getting involved with various projects and research and enriching the children's education through these.

    All of our staff receive regular in house training and are also offered access to quality training from other providers. All middle and senior leaders are given the opportunity to further develop their qualifications through NPQ training.

    Subject leaders receive subject specific training and professional support through Consortiums and the Birmingham Education Partnership. We also have support from our local Maths and Literacy Hubs. Subject leaders are members of local networks where they gain valuable advice, and share ideas and research to develop their subjects even further.

    All of our leaders are specialists in their own subject areas and have worked with staff to develop a bespoke curriculum for our school. They offer peer to peer support for other staff through team teaching, mentoring and coaching.

    We are all proud to be members of staff at Water Mill Primary School.

    We are given and give creative opportunities to make learning fun and memorable.

    We respect and care for each other and always act with integrity.

    We all believe that 'Anything is Possible'.

    Visits to the school are welcomed; please email to arrange a visit.
