Interim Headteacher Early Years North West London September Start

Brava Education is working with a welcoming maintained early years school in North West London to appoint an Interim Headteacher for the full academic year, September 2026 to July 2027.

This is a rare part–time headship, around 3.5 days per week. However 5 days will be considered if that is the candidates preference.

About the school

  • A small, warm and well–regarded early years setting
  • A wonderfully diverse community, with most children speaking English as an additional language and a high proportion on SEN support
  • An experienced and settled staff team

The role

  • Provide confident leadership for a settled school community
  • Lead the school through its Ofsted window, which opens in September
  • Work within a managed budget plan agreed with the local authority, which is on track
  • Full handover from the outgoing headteacher at the start of term

About you

  • An early years leader, or a primary leader with genuine early years experience
  • Established headteachers and experienced deputies ready to step up to a first headship are both encouraged to apply
  • Ofsted experience is a strong advantage given the timing
  • General SEND experience is welcome; specialist SEND is covered in–house
  • Comfortable leading a small, close–knit setting

Details

  • Full academic year, September 2026 to July 2027
  • Around 3.5 – 5 days per week
  • Interim, daily rate basis
  • Interviews are being arranged immediately for a first–week–of–September start

To apply or find out more, send your CV through this advert and I will call you for a confidential chat. Brava Education is a specialist education recruitment agency placing senior leaders in schools across the UK.
