What skills and experience we're looking for
Willow Brook Primary School, Keyworth
Growing bright young minds. Creating unforgettable childhoods.
At Willow Brook, we believe primary education should be exciting.
Our children don't just learn about the world. They explore it. They create. They perform. They investigate. They experience. Whether it's a Harry Potter exhibition, a residential adventure, a World Cup competition, or a curriculum topic brought vividly to life, we work hard to make every child's primary years memorable, successful and full of possibility.
The retirement of our existing Headteacher means we are looking for a new Headteacher to lead the next chapter of our story.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving school with a talented staff team, supportive families and governors who are ambitious for the future.
We are looking for a leader who understands what makes Willow Brook special and who shares our belief that children thrive when learning is engaging, creative and inspiring. We want someone who will champion our distinctive curriculum and protect the spirit of adventure that sits at the heart of school life, while bringing fresh ideas and vision for the future.
