Pannal Primary School is a thriving, happy and popular 2-form entry primary school. The school is inclusive to all, with a unique school ethos. Being “Pannal-Shaped” defines its way of being, it influences all decisions and is shared, owned and understood by pupils, staff and parents. This ethos underpins the distinctive curriculum offer and the values which pervade the school. With the planned retirement of the current Headteacher, the Trust and Governors are seeking to appoint a new Headteacher who is an inspiring leader with a strong commitment to excellence and who shares their passion for creating a supportive, inclusive, and ambitious environment where both pupils and staff can thrive.
The school serves a semi-rural community on the outskirts of Harrogate, with 446 pupils on roll, organised into 14 classes in a 2-form entry structure. Due to over subscription, the school expanded in 2016 with significant building work including 3 additional classrooms to increase capacity with further building work during 2022/3. The pupils and staff enjoy a bright and motivational learning environment alongside fantastic outdoor spaces including natural woodland.
The new Headteacher will have the opportunity to lead a highly qualified, skilled and committed staff body who are motivated to continue the school’s progress. There is a real appetite to push forward for even greater success. The new Headteacher must be an inspirational and progressive leader who will harness that energy. You will have the autonomy and ability to make decisions and to be creative while working with a trust team that will offer support, guidance, challenge, and reassurance to achieve success.
Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust was established in 2015, with Pannal Primary joining the following year. The Trust is a cross-phase multi academy trust of nine schools – one secondary and eight primaries, which includes a mix of both Church of England and community schools. With schools based in and around Harrogate and Craven, this creates excellent opportunities for strong collaboration between all leaders. With an underpinning mission of “ambition, learning and enrichment for all” both pupils and staff can expect to feel valued and supported across the organisation. Pursuing high expectations for all, the schools deliver high-quality education through rich and broad learning experiences that enables pupils to flourish. The Trust is well established and respected, and you will be a key part of its future growth, development, innovation, and continuous improvement.
If you have a proven track record of exceptional leadership as a Headteacher this is a fantastic opportunity to join Pannal Primary and to lead the next exciting phase in its development. You must have a passion for continuous improvement, embracing new ideas and technologies to enhance teaching and learning. This will be driven by a clear vision for the future of the school, and the ability to implement strategic initiatives that deliver tangible results. Importantly, you must be values led and motivated to make a real difference to the lives of the pupils and their families.
