Governors and staff of Lighthouse Federation look forward to the appointment of a new Executive Headteacher who will work with us to further shape and lead our federation along the next stage of our journey.

We are a friendly, forward-looking federation, Happisburgh CE VA Primary & Early Years and St Mary’s CE VA Primary (Endowed), Roughton.  Children, parents, staff and governors are proud of the schools – each distinct but with the common vision: to encourage and nurture all children, provide the best opportunities for each to achieve their potential, and develop character and attitudes to make worthwhile contributions to their communities now and in the future.

It is important to all at Lighthouse Federation that our new Executive Headteacher has vision, energy and a passion to make a lasting difference to children, families and staff.  We are looking for a committed and inspirational leader who will model and embed our core Christian values into all areas of school life.

In return we can offer you a happy working environment, pupils who are well motivated, supportive parents, dedicated staff, and an active, committed governing body.

Through the changes and challenges of education today, governors will work creatively and constructively with the Executive Headteacher in our united desire to provide the best for all our children and their families.

The position of Executive Headteacher at Lighthouse Federation provides:

• An excellent opportunity to provide strategic leadership and direction realising the full potential of our federation as we move into the exciting environment of a growing CofE multi academy trust.
• An opportunity to see the huge potential that exists to make our schools outstanding in primary education.
• Happy, caring and supportive schools, with well-behaved children who respect each other and have a thirst for learning.
• A governing body that is committed to providing support on all matters including more sensitive or difficult issues – this includes the wellbeing of all staff members – and who are experienced, committed and passionate about our schools and enabling our children reach their potential.
• Support from the dedicated staff team, Diocese of Norwich, the Local Authority (LA) and the St Benet’s Multi-Academy Trust.
• An ambitious curriculum, which aims to give every child a love for learning and enriching opportunities.
