We’re proud to be partnering with The Elliot Foundation to recruit the next Principal of Parkfield Primary School, a vibrant and diverse primary school in North West London serving over 460 pupils. This is a role for someone who believes great school leadership is about understanding the community you serve, developing the people around you and creating an environment where every child can thrive.
Working closely with pupils, staff, families and the wider Trust, you’ll lead the next stage of Parkfield’s journey, building on strong foundations while continuing to strengthen teaching, learning, leadership and outcomes. You’ll also play a visible role within the local community, developing partnerships that help children and families flourish.
We’re looking for a leader who will embrace Parkfield’s Therapeutic Thinking approach and lead with empathy, consistency and high expectations, creating a culture where children feel safe, staff feel supported and families know they’re welcome.
This role would suit an experienced education leader who:
- Builds trust with children, staff and families
- Develops others and creates strong leadership teams
- Balances empathy with high expectations
- Leads sustained school improvement with children at the heart of every decision
If this sounds like you, or someone in your network, we’d love to hear from you.
