Job Description
Salary:Lto L
Pilton Community College is one of two 1116 comprehensive mixed gender secondary schools serving the town and villages surrounding Barnstaple. We are seeking to appoint a new Headteacher to lead the schools community.
The school was graded as Good in 2023. Ventrus and another local Trust Tarka Learning Partnership on 1 April 2025 will combine to become The Harbour Schools Partnership consisting of two secondary schools and 34 primary schools.
The Pilton CC Headteacher will work collaboratively with these schools as a member of the Trusts School Leaders Group as well as with other groups such as Education Futures North Devon Partnership (EFNDP). The Trust has a Centre for Professional Development and is working closely with South West Institute for Teaching (SWIFT) as a Board Member to support the ECF and Teacher/Leader/Support staff CPD agendas. This is a time of growth and exciting change for Pilton Community College and The Harbour Schools Partnership.
The School and partnership seek a Headteacher who can both drive school improvement and enjoys and sees the benefits of collaboration to maintain a highly effective school.
The Trust supports a model of empowering each Headteacher to develop a school vision and follow it rather than mandating a single Trustwide approach to school effectiveness.
The post is ideally suited to a January 2026 start. For further information regarding the role please refer to the attached recruitment pack which includes the job description and person specification.
