Headteacher

What does it mean to lead a school where every child is known, valued and inspired to grow?

Imagine a school set in the heart of rural Hertfordshire, surrounded by countryside and rooted in a strong sense of community. At Weston Church of England VC Nursery & Primary School, learning is joyful, relationships matter and our Christian vision – A community, learning and growing – is woven into daily life.

As Headteacher, you will lead with warmth and empathy, build strong relationships, and communicate openly. You will embrace the varied responsibilities of a small school, empower staff to innovate, and strengthen links with the church and local community. Most of all, you will be a visible presence who inspires pupils and nurtures their potential. This is a role for someone who leads with heart, builds with purpose, and believes in the power of community.

We can offer:

• A caring, well‑established school community with strong values and a clear ethos
• A dedicated and collaborative staff team who embrace creativity and new ideas
• Supportive governors and families who work together to enrich school life
• A vibrant curriculum that sparks curiosity and creativity
• Strong links with Holy Trinity Church and active involvement from Friends of Weston School

At Weston CE Primary, we are committed to fostering an inclusive school culture where leadership is thoughtful, creative, and responsive to the needs of our community. We welcome applications from suitably qualified individuals with a wide range of experiences and perspectives, and are open to those who bring curiosity, care, and fresh thinking to the role.

Please apply on the Teach in Herts website, using the standard online application form.
