Dear Applicant,
We are delighted that you are considering joining Larkfield Primary School at this pivotal moment in
our journey. We are excited to invite candidates who possess strong leadership qualities and a
passion for education to apply for this role.
As our current Headteacher is retiring after 16 successful years, we are seeking an exceptional leader
who will inspire and motivate our school community.
Larkfield Primary School currently has over 250 pupils and 41 staff members and is transitioning
from 1.5-form entry to single-form entry. Larkfield prides itself on its friendly, welcoming
atmosphere; a recent parent/carer survey noted that the school “feels like a big family.” Our school
values are “Enjoy, Learn, Succeed”. We aim to provide a stimulating, aspirational and caring
environment that enables our children to leave as well-educated, confident members of the
community, well-prepared for the next stage of their education and for life in modern Britain. We
are looking for someone who not only embodies our ethos and values but is also committed to
upholding the school's high academic and pastoral standards.
The successful candidate will be responsible for leading a team of talented senior leaders, teachers
and support staff, fostering an environment that encourages their growth and development while
promoting collaboration and innovation. Working closely with the Governing Body and stakeholders,
you will have the opportunity to continue the school’s development journey and ensure educational
excellence for all its children. Your excellent communication skills, visionary leadership approach,
and keen eye for financial sustainability will be vital to ensuring the school’s continued success.
If you share our passion for nurturing confident, inquisitive learners and are ready to shape the next
chapter of Larkfield’s story, we warmly invite you to apply. Together, we can continue to transform
lives and strengthen our community. On behalf of the Governing Body, thank you for your interest.
We look forward to learning more about your vision and expertise.
