Headteacher

Headteacher required for April 2026

Group 2 Inner London L16-21

Full time / Permanent

Weston Park Primary School

Weston Park Primary is a successful and popular primary school in the London Borough of Haringey, which has an excellent reputation in the local area.

Following almost nine years of successful leadership, our current Headteacher will be leaving us at the end of the spring term. This is an exciting opportunity to build on the excellent foundations in place and continue to develop the school.

We are looking for an exceptional, committed Headteacher with a proven record in educational leadership to share our ambition and strategic vision, following our Ofsted ‘outstanding’ rating (June 2024). Your energy and enthusiasm will motivate the leadership team to inspire, challenge, and empower all members of the school in achieving our vision.

Our future Headteacher will have strong leadership skills and be able to manage the demands of an inner-city primary school. The school has a strong, motivated, and dedicated team of teaching and support staff, committed to ensuring high achievement and equality of opportunity for all.

The role is suitable for an experienced Deputy Headteacher capable of meeting the challenges of the post, or an experienced Headteacher who is looking for a second headship. Governors have high expectations and are positive and supportive.

The new Headteacher will benefit from:

• Enthusiastic and well-behaved pupils who want to learn and take part in all aspects of school life.

• Dedicated staff who are committed to providing the best possible education for the pupils.

• A diverse school population.

• Very supportive parents and a local community who want the school to succeed.

• A well-managed budget.

• A supportive and experienced governing body.

• Membership of Haringey Education Partnership which provides a wide range of support for local schools.

There will be an opportunity to visit the school and meet the current Headteacher in the week beginning Monday 12th January 2026.

Prospective candidates are asked to complete the application form. The supporting statement section in the form should show how you meet the requirements listed in the person specification. Please limit your written supporting statement to no more than 3 sides of A4 font size 11.

Closing date: Monday 19th January at 12 noon.

We will be shortlisting on Thursday 22nd January and successful candidates will be informed the following day. We propose to interview shortlisted candidates on Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th January. It is essential that shortlisted candidates inform their referees of these dates.

Weston Park Primary is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment to this post will be subject to confirmation of qualifications, experience checks and satisfactory references and an Enhanced Disclosure (via the Disclosure and Barring Scheme).
