About the role
Are you a strong and dynamic leader ready to make your mark at a thriving community school? At Saffron Green Primary School, we believe in Aiming High Together - supporting every child to reach their full potential in a caring, inclusive environment. As Headteacher, you’ll lead a compassionate team, driving a vision that nurtures both academic success and personal growth.
Set within spacious grounds in Borehamwood, Saffron Green Primary School offers a welcoming and well-equipped environment where both staff and pupils thrive. This is a role where you can shape the future of a school that’s already built strong relationships between staff, governors, pupils, and parents, and where your leadership can inspire further growth and success.
In your role, you’ll be key to maintaining a collaborative, high-expectations culture. You will work alongside a supportive, experienced Deputy Head; guiding staff, motivating them to excel, and empowering them to continuously develop. Your leadership will focus on maintaining the school’s inclusive ethos and fostering strong relationships with the wider community.
Saffron Green is a “Good” school, with huge potential for further development. As Headteacher, you will have the opportunity to implement your vision, enhance the school’s facilities, and make a lasting impact on both staff and pupils. We’re looking for someone who will lead with passion, confidence, and a clear vision for the future.
