HEADTEACHER

Salary: L16-L22 (£76,481 – £88,237 per annum including Outer London
weighting)

Flanking a park in suburban South London, the two schools that comprise Purley
Partnership Federation have their own distinctive characters but also much in
common: both are inclusive, nurturing and work hard to help children achieve their
full potential. Much of the Executive Head Teacher’s time will be spent at Christ
Church C of E Primary School, a voluntary-aided two form Church of England
Primary School, as the role involves being Head Teacher of this school. However,
the Executive Head Teacher also provides strategic leadership and management at
state-maintained Purley Nursery School.

Our children are diverse, make great progress and love coming to school, enjoying
the high levels of education and care delivered by committed, capable and
hardworking staff. Both schools are very much part of the community within which
they sit, aided in particular by close links to the popular and dynamic parish church
located just across the road, but also benefiting from supportive governors and
parents.
