WE ARE SEEKING AN EXPERIENCED AND INSPIRATIONAL LEADER TO BECOME THE HEADTEACHER OF THE NEWLY MERGED CARDINAL ROAD INFANT AND NURSERY AND VICTORIA JUNIOR SCHOOLS.

Senior Leaders and administration staff of both schools have been working collaboratively under the guidance of the established Headteacher of the Infant and Nursery School who took on the role of Interim Headteacher of Victoria Junior School in April 2024. Following the decision of the current Headteacher to retire at the end of the autumn term 2025, we are now seeking to appoint someone with the vision and expertise to continue and develop the good practice already in place and continue the school’s journey as a single primary school.
Do you have what it takes to lead the school into its next phase? Do you want to be part of a stimulating, nurturing, diverse and caring community? If so, we look forward to hearing from you.
You will have experience of working collaboratively with governors, staff, parents and pupils to develop and sustain a self-improving school.
This is an exciting opportunity for a hard- working and dynamic individual who is reflective, caring, thoughtful and keen to make a real and lasting impact in a great school. You will lead a staff team based on two sites that are committed to the best educational standards and the needs of our children, supported by a proactive Governing Board.
The successful candidate will bring the insight, authority, and organisational skill required to step into the role immediately, providing strong leadership and the ability to motivate, support, and harmonise a large and diverse team. We want a leader who can build on our strengths, bringing new perspectives and proven strategies, ensuring our school continues to thrive under confident and knowledgeable direction.
If you are passionate about education and are seeking an exciting career opportunity, we can offer you an enriching and rewarding Headship. We would welcome applications from experienced Headteachers as well as Deputies (or equivalent) who will be able to demonstrate excellent strategic leadership, management and communication skills.
Informal visits are strongly encouraged. Please contact one of the school offices on: 020 8890 9624 or 020 8890 6306 to make an appointment. Further information about the school can be found on the school websites at www.cardinalroad.co.uk and www.victoriajunior.co.uk
