The pupils, staff and Governing Body are seeking to appoint an inspirational Headteacher who will provide strong, professional and spiritual leadership. Our vision is: We believe in the God given uniqueness of every individual and value them within a loving and inclusive Christian learning community. Through our love of God, we are all shaping our school, so that each of us can flourish, achieve, develop resilience and contribute to live in all its fullness. Littleton C of E Infant and Nursey School is a one-form entry Voluntary Aided Church of England primary school that has provided high quality education to the local community for over 200 years. We are situated in the heart of the parish of St Mary Magdalene, Littleton (Surrey Local Authority).

At Littleton C of E, we encourage our children to reach their full potential in a nurturing and supportive Christian environment. Our founding principles are based on love, compassion and respect for all. We are fully inclusive and welcome pupils and families of Christian faith, other faiths and no faith. We believe in developing strong partnerships between home and school to achieve the best possible outcomes for all our children.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic individual who will continue to establish and promote our vision and lead, nurture and inspire our children and staff to guide Littleton C of E through the next phase of our development on our journey.

We are a friendly, supportive and aspirational school with a distinct Christian vision. We have close link with our parish church and the community of Littleton. Our staff are loyal and talented and relish the opportunity to develop the happy and hardworking children in their care. They are supported in their efforts by engaged and enthusiastic parents and the school is overseen by an effective and dedicated Governing Body.

We would welcome applications from experienced Headteachers, or Deputy/Assistant Headteachers looking for their first Headship, with a proven record of success. The role of Headteacher in a small school is diverse and rewarding and the successful candidate will be a qualified SENCO and lead our Safeguarding team as DSL.
