This developing village school is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty in East Devon. The School Governors are seeking to appoint an acting Headteacher to cover for the Summer Term initially.Following the resignation of the previous Headteacher last Autumn, the school has been ably managed by an acting Headteacher working on a part time basis and assisted by a committed teaching staff.The governors are actively seeking to resolve the issue of the long term leadership of the school. Following the advice of the acting Head, who needs to return full time to his own school, they feel that it is necessary to appoint an acting Head full time in order to cement and to continue the substantial progress that has been made since the Autumn Term.
This post has a teaching component of 0.5. This is an ideal opportunity for professional development for someone aspiring to headship. Applicants seeking secondment must have the approval from their Governing Body before applying for this post.
