Commencing: January 2026

Salary:  Headteacher group 1 £58,959 - £68,400 (L10-L16)

The Federation of Middleham and Spennithorne is a federation of two small village schools with enthusiastic and engaged pupils and dedicated staff.  We have been rated Good in our last Ofsted report and aspire to be exemplary in the future. Our new Executive Headteacher will continue building on the school’s reputation and be able to develop the school to “future-proof” the school and its student body.

A defining feature of the school is its deeply embedded Christian vision: “Fruitful lives, rooted in love, A place to learn, love and grow.” The Executive Headteacher will need to ensure that this is actively lived out through worship, relationships, curriculum, and community work, while also promoting inclusion, respect, and diversity in a multi-faith society.
