Headteacher

About the role

Are you ready to lead a school where big dreams thrive in a small village setting?

Tewin Cowper CofE Primary School, nestled in the heart of the countryside, is more than just a one-form entry school. It's a close-knit community with a rich Christian ethos, where every child is valued, nurtured, and encouraged to flourish—be it as a future scientist, artist, musician, or leader.

Here, you’ll find a school that celebrates individuality while fostering high aspirations. With outdoor learning, an enriched curriculum, and a range of extracurricular activities like netball, music, and chess, we empower children to achieve their full potential in a safe, joyful, and respectful environment.

As Headteacher, you’ll lead with vision, compassion, and resilience, driving forward the high standards of teaching, learning, and behaviour we hold dear. You’ll inspire a dedicated team, collaborate closely with governors, and cultivate strong relationships with parents to ensure every child’s success.

What you’ll get:

• Delightful, enthusiastic pupils who are ready to learn
• A supportive, committed staff team and engaged governing body
• Large, well-maintained grounds
• A relaxed and happy atmosphere
• Tailored induction and professional development support.

If you’re a dynamic leader ready to uphold our Christian values of honesty, respect, and generosity while steering our school toward an exciting future, we’d love to hear from you.
