Job description

Head of School – Starting January 2027

Greenhall, part of The Creative Learning Partnership Trust

‘Nurturing the Champion within’

Due to continued growth of Greenhall and inclusion across our Trust, we are recruiting a Head of School. The successful individual will play a pivotal role in driving ongoing improvement, building capacity and enabling all our children, families and staff to thrive. This role has a teaching commitment.

Greenhall is a nurturing, early years special school for children aged 2‑5 years old with needs in the prime areas of learning. We also have a governor-run nursery – Little Learners – onsite that is open 51 weeks of the year. ‘Knowing the individual well’ and ‘effective relationships’ are central to our work.

We are looking for a dynamic leader who:

  • Is an experienced senior leader (e.g. Deputy Head, Assistant Head, or equivalent), or an existing Head of School
  • Has a strong track record of raising standards and improving outcomes
  • Thinks strategically while maintaining a clear focus on effective day‑to‑day leadership
  • Is passionate about high quality early years education and deeply committed to child‑centred practice, with excellent interpersonal skills
  • Builds positive, trusting relationships across the school community, working with them and investing time getting to know children, families and staff
  • Communicates effectively with staff, pupils and families
  • Loves coming into school each day to spend time with our little ones and lead a fantastic staff team
  • Leads by example and is willing to get stuck in, joining children in play and creativity
  • Is organised, professional, remains calm and has clarity of thought
  • Reads and researches best practice in early years and SEND (evidence based, not the latest fads), reflects on this and implements it in our setting while explaining the rationale
  • Cares about details, handles difficult conversations with sensitivity and maintains clear communication
  • Is loving, kind and provides a supportive environment for children and staff
  • Has the courage to do the right thing, even when it is difficult
  • Is committed to creating an inclusive society
  • Has a warm, infectious smile that greets children, families and staff, showing them how loved, special and valued they are

If you think you have the skills and character that we are looking for, please get in touch!

Training, support and coaching will be offered to the successful candidate to ensure they are successful in their duties. There will also be professional development opportunities within the Trust and within Greenhall & Little Learners.

Greenhall is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB), references and medical clearance. It is an offence to apply for this role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.

Visits are strongly encouraged. Please email office@greenhall.staffs.sch.uk or call us on 01785 246159 to arrange a visit or for more information.
