St. Peter’s CE Primary School is a popular and aspiring church school with a clear vision rooted in Christian faith and our situation in Heswall. It reflects our proximity to St. Peter’s Church alongside which The Lighthouse Church is planning to open in Heswall town centre in June. Our school serves some children living in catchment, but increasingly draws from further across the Wirral, largely because of our distinctive Christian ethos, our St. Peter’s values, our new F1 provision and wrap-around-care.
We are seeking to appoint a strong and passionate leader committed to putting children at the heart of the school and providing the very best education for the whole child. This role requires a highly capable, experienced, forward-thinking leader with enthusiasm and vision, able to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges of senior school leadership in the current educational climate.

- has a proven track-record of effective, strategic leadership, clear decision-making and good communication
- has the ability to assess and improve the quality and outcome of teaching and learning in order to deliver key school improvement targets.
- is able to deliver high standards of behaviour and provide good pastoral care
- is a personable, inspirational leader able to motivate our capable staff team, ensuring personal development and well-being
- leads with an authentic Christian faith that models our school vision and values
- can work constructively with the governing body, managing the school budget effectively and wisely to the benefit of the school
- has outstanding interpersonal skills to establish positive relationships which build trust and confidence with our children, parents, staff, governors, church and local community
If you believe that you have the skills, expertise and faith commitment to fulfil this exciting and challenging role we would be pleased to hear from you.
