At Roxbourne, We Are Committed To Giving Every Child The Best Possible Start In Life, Irrespective Of Their Starting Point. In Redefining What Is Possible For Our Staff, Pupils And The Wider Community, We
* work with ventures that are mission aligned and run by exceptional people to support our pupils, families and teachers (such as Read Write Inc, Mathematics Mastery and ArkCurriculum+ History, Geography Science)
* drop-in and coach Early Career Teachers weekly, and all other teachers fortnightly so that they continually improve and have the most significant impact on their pupils. We expect all drop-ins to be recorded, and we encourage all teachers to self record too via our Steplab partnership

* deliver a visionary Strings Programme ensuring 260 Key Stage 2 pupils receive weekly violin tuition and every child in Year 5 and Year 6 participate in weekly orchestra

* an innovative leader who is able to suggest, implement, refine and upscale new ideas
In Return, We Offer
* a non-class based role, to provide the time, space and capacity to lead
* a recent June 2025 Ofsted Inspection which recognised the exceptional education our pupils receive
* you the opportunity to work with exceptional leaders who will have a transformational impact on your effectiveness
* a largely planned and prepared curriculum and a very well-resourced school on an impressive site, which includes; a large EYFS outdoor area, multiple playgrounds, a school field and dedicated classrooms for music, food technology as well as a library and multiple small group rooms
