Headteacher

North Walsham High School, part of Enrich Learning Trust, is a rapidly improving 11-16 school with a clear trajectory of sustained improvement. Following a period of successful stabilisation, the school is now well placed to take the next step in its journey towards becoming one of the highest-performing schools in Norfolk.

Situated in the idyllic North Norfolk community, the school plays a central role locally and has built strong, positive relationships with pupils, families and staff. In recent years, the senior leadership team has worked with determination to embed research-informed approaches to teaching, learning and behaviour, establishing a culture of high expectations and consistency.

We are now seeking an exceptional leader to build on these strong foundations and lead the school into its next phase of excellence.

This is an exciting opportunity for either an experienced Headteacher or an ambitious senior leader ready for Headship. The successful candidate will combine strategic clarity with strong moral purpose, driving continued improvement in outcomes while sustaining a culture where staff and pupils thrive. Furthermore, the schools is excited to share the opening of an ASD SRB in January 2027. They will also play a key role within a high-performing and collaborative Multi-Academy Trust and will have the opportunity to shape their senior team, including the appointment of a Deputy Headteacher.

We are looking for a leader who:

• Demonstrates integrity, ambition and a strong track record of successful leadership
• Has an unwavering commitment to high-quality teaching and learning for all students
• Can provide clear strategic direction to secure sustained excellence
• Communicates with clarity, confidence and empathy, and shows resilience in the face of challenge
• Is motivated by the opportunity to make a lasting difference to a school and its community

This is a rare opportunity to lead an ambitious and improving school at a pivotal moment in its development.
