Prospective candidates are encouraged to visit and view both schools. If you would like to do so on 12th June 2024 at 4pm, please contact amanda.bouadana@newport.gov.uk to make arrangements.

• Is already a successful Headteacher who has proven leadership, management, communication and interpersonal skills to promote effective teamwork.
• Demonstrates and promotes equality and high expectations of achievement and behaviour.
• Can build a relationship of mutual respect with pupils, parents, community, staff and the Governing Body.
