This is a unique opportunity to lead and shape EYFS provision across two school sites, working alongside dedicated staff to ensure outstanding practice, high expectations and a consistently nurturing learning experience for all children.

In return, you will join a collaborative and ambitious partnership where Early Years is valued, celebrated and recognised as the cornerstone of children's future success.
If you are an innovative and passionate EYFS leader who believes that every child deserves an exceptional beginning, we would love to hear from you.
