Operating across two thriving sites in Leighton Buzzard, Greenleas combines the opportunities of a large school with something increasingly rare: a genuine family feel.
We are proud of our strong reputation, excellent Early Years provision and positive outcomes, but prouder still of our nurturing culture, where children and colleagues are understood as individuals and relationships really matter.
The opportunity: As our new Executive Headteacher, you will lead alongside a talented and committed team of staff, experienced senior leaders and a supportive governing body.

You will bring: We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking leader who can protect what makes Greenleas special whilst leading innovation, continuous improvement and the school’s future strategic direction. You will bring experience, resilience and sound financial understanding, helping us navigate future opportunities and challenges, strengthen our inclusive provision and build on the strong foundations already in place. You will be empathetic and people-centred, fostering trust and stability while supporting and inspiring a committed team of long-serving staff through the next phase of the school's journey.
In return, you will find wonderful children, dedicated staff, supportive governors and a school community that cares deeply about its future. Greenleas School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment to this post is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check as well as other pre-appointment checks, including an online check, as outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education (September 2026).
