Headteacher

The Governing Council of Priory School Edgbaston is excited to announce its search for the next Headteacher of Priory School. Are you an experienced Headteacher or proven Deputy Headteacher who is also an inspirational, driven and enthusiastic person looking for your next challenge? The Headteacher is accountable to the Governing Council via the Chair of Governors for the strategic and operational leadership of a medium-sized, co-educational organisation, with a diverse community, which provides a whole school, whole person approach. Priory School was founded on Catholic values and this Catholic heritage continues to underpin all aspects of the School's life. We welcome, as part of our Priory Family, students and staff of all faiths and none. We therefore seek to appoint a Headteacher who fosters this approach to educate pupils in the broadest sense of the word, so that they become well-motivated, self-disciplined, independent people with a sense of service, who are ready to look after themselves and contribute positively to society.
