Head Teacher - Leadership L20 – L26
This is a unique opportunity to lead a thriving Church school at a pivotal moment in its history.
At Honley Junior, Infant and Nursery School, our school vision “Love for Learning and Learning for Life. Life in all its fullness” (John 10:10) is at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in our Christian values of respect, trust, resilience, responsibility and kindness, we are a learning community where we work and achieve together.
In January 2026 we announced our intention to become part of Trinity Multi Academy Trust. Trinity is a highly respected and growing family of 11 academies, spanning primary through to post-16 education, with a proven track record of transforming outcomes and making lasting differences to the lives of children and young people.
This is an exciting time to join Honley. Our school operates across two sites and includes a Daycare and Out of School Club, providing high-quality wraparound care for children from the age of two. As we begin this new chapter, we are seeking an exceptional leader to guide our school into its future.
Governors are looking to appoint an inspiring, ambitious and highly skilled Headteacher to lead our happy, hardworking and dedicated school community. Working closely with governors, the successful candidate will shape the school's strategic direction, build on our many strengths and lead the transition into Trinity Multi Academy Trust with confidence and vision.
Our school has much to celebrate, and we are determined to continue improving outcomes for every child. We are looking for a Headteacher who can demonstrate:
Outstanding leadership skills, with experience of leading effectively within a complex or multi-site environment.
A clear vision for developing and enriching the school's distinctive Christian ethos.
A passion for raising educational standards and securing excellent outcomes for all pupils.
A commitment to strengthening our long-established relationships with families and the wider Honley community.
We are seeking a leader who is passionate about teaching and learning, committed to excellence and dedicated to ensuring every child reaches their full potential. You will inspire pupils and staff alike through your integrity, high expectations and unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.
What can we offer you?
The opportunity to lead a school through an exciting transition into a successful Multi Academy Trust, with dedicated support from the Local Authority, Diocese and Trust throughout the journey.
The chance to work within a progressive, forward-thinking Multi Academy Trust with a strong track record of delivering excellent outcomes for children and communities.
The opportunity to collaborate with and learn from a wide network of experienced leaders and professionals across the Trust, benefiting from shared expertise and high-quality support.
A strong commitment to your ongoing professional development, with access to high-quality learning and leadership development opportunities.
