Primary headteacher recruitment

The processes of choosing a new headteacher, or other key member of leadership staff, are among the most important for a governing board or school leadership team to get right. Staff recruited into these key roles have the potential to energise a school, develop staff and improve outcomes for young people. We will support governing boards throughout the process in making the right choice.

Professional guidance from an educational adviser during the process to support:

• Initial meeting with governing board
• Shortlisting
• Planning and organising the interview programme
• Preparation of assessment activities for candidates
• Overseeing the assessment activities during interview days
• Professional feedback to all candidates

All our support is tailored towards the individual needs of schools to help attract the very best candidates for the school. Our educational advisers are professionals who have held senior management or headship posts and have wide ranging experience of leadership recruitment.
