THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A RECENT VACANCY EMMAUS HAVE APPOINTED TO.
Headteacher - Lowton Church of England High School
Location: Lowton, Nr Warrington, Cheshire
Contract Type: Full Time
Contract Term: Permanent
Start Date: Negotiable
Lowton CE High School is an oversubscribed Church of England secondary school that serves young people aged 11 – 16 years old within the neighbouring communities of Lowton, Leigh and Atherton. Situated just off the A580 between Manchester and Liverpool, the school is easily accessible by road from surrounding areas.
At Lowton, the whole school community sees itself as one big family with Christian values and vision at its very heart, summed up by our mission statement: Caring, Learning and Succeeding.
There is much to celebrate at Lowton, not least the transformational journey the school has been on - recognised in our March 2023 Ofsted inspection - in which the school was graded ‘Good’ in all areas and noted for the ‘transformational improvement’ since the previous inspection in 2019.
This offers a firm foundation for the new Headteacher to continue to strive for excellence in all that is done, to raise academic outcomes and maintain high expectations of students and staff in a supportive atmosphere. In all that you do, you will be supported by a committed and capable Governing Body, and a Senior Leadership Team that comprises a dedicated group of experienced practitioners who have worked tirelessly and collaboratively with the current Headteacher.
It is the desire of the Governing Body that the new Headteacher will be someone who leads by example and who will themselves be a ‘light’ to colleagues and students. We try to encourage each individual to excel within a caring atmosphere. We work hard to give even the most disadvantaged students every opportunity to succeed.
For an existing Head, this could be the next big challenge you seek…or, equally, for an experienced Deputy Head with still yet untapped potential, this could be the right opportunity for you.
Whilst applications are sought from practising Christians, equally, others committed to supporting the Christian ethos of the school are warmly invited to apply.
If you believe you can provide outstanding leadership, which inspires and motivates others towards excellence and ensures the very best education for all our students, then we would love to hear from you.
If you are an existing Headteacher or an Aspiring Head looking for a new challenge then please call Liam Dowds, our advising Emmaus consultant on 01737 652 043 or alternatively email him at ldowds@emmausleadership.me for an Application Pack. DO NOT APPLY ONLINE
All conversations will be held in the strictest confidence.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and all applicants are expected to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to pre-employment checks, including satisfactory references and an Enhanced DBS check.
