Job description

Goytre Fawr Primary School is a thriving and inclusive school, nestled at the heart of the community, where every child is valued, supported and inspired to achieve their full potential. The school prides itself on its warm, friendly atmosphere, strong partnership with parents and carers and a dedicated team of staff who are committed to delivering high quality education and believe in great academic aspirations for all children.

The school’s curriculum is engaging, creative and designed to develop confident, resilient learners who are prepared for the future. With excellent facilities, spacious outdoor areas and a strong emphasis on wellbeing, Goytre Fawr Primary School provides a nurturing environment where every child can flourish both academically and personally.

The forest school provides an attractive and stimulating learning environment within the grounds of the school; the sessions help children to develop an understanding and knowledge of the woodland environment and promote confidence, thinking and problem-solving skills, self-esteem and life skills.

The Asymmetric Week, introduced in September 2023, gives staff opportunities for professional learning and development which will lead to higher quality teaching and improved learning outcomes for our children.

Following the retirement of our successful Headteacher, the Governing Body are keen to recruit a passionate, inspirational and outstanding leader to continue to develop the school’s vision and ethos, set high expectations and place a strong emphasis on empowering staff and pupils alike. We welcome applications from both existing headteachers and experienced senior leaders seeking their first headteacher appointment, who can bring the necessary skills, drive and enthusiasm to lead our school.
