**Head of School at Milborne St Andrew First School**

**Salary: Group: 1 (L6 - L12); £50,122—£58,106**

***

**Start date: 1**st** September 2023**

This is an opportunity to lead a thriving and successful first school within the Wessex Multi-Academy Trust.

The Wessex MAT is made up of a family of 12 schools based in West Dorset. We cover the full age range from nursery through to post-16 and we are fiercely inclusive. Although we work together closely and collaboratively we do not believe in cloning schools or working to a formula. Schools retain a unique position in their local community pursuing common values and aspirations. We encourage innovation and we want staff to feel confident about testing boundaries. That is the route towards great schools for all.

Our mantra is ‘learning is everything’. What goes on in the classroom is the most important part of our work and everyone who works for Wessex MAT, in whatever role or capacity, contributes towards that vision. That is why we put so much time and effort into continuous professional development. Everyone is encouraged to be involved in some form of learning or development, which may or may not lead to formal qualifications.

We are ambitious to become both an educator and employer of choice. Therefore, we work hard to create the best possible working conditions where staff feel supported and valued. Richard Branson said that we should, ‘train people well enough so they can leave for any job they want, but treat them well enough so they don’t want to’. That is something that resonates with our own philosophy.

Milborne St Andrew First School is located in a magnificent setting at the heart of its community. The site is ideally positioned to support the school’s vision for a broad and diverse curriculum with nature at its core. We fully expect Milborne to be judged ‘good’ again at its next inspection because it is an effective school. It is a popular local choice for families and there has been some new building development in the village. Currently there are 55 pupils on roll.

The school’s strong values permeate its community, curriculum and pastoral identity and we are looking for someone with a positive and confident outlook who will embrace and strengthen that philosophy and can build on that legacy and further establish the school as a driving force within the MAT.
- Wessex MAT is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires all staff and volunteers to share and demonstrate this commitment._
