Head Teacher, Green Fold Special School, Bolton Salary range: L18-L24A Starting date: January 2025

This is an opportunity to lead an already outstanding school forward and to develop it further within our unique Orchards Federation structure.

The Orchards Federation was established in 2006, when Cherry Tree Primary School, Green Fold Special Primary School and The Orchards Nursery came together, creating a unique learning environment for all our children, staff and families. We are a multi-site organisation with our schools located across four sites in Bolton.

Following the promotion of our last headteacher, Gary Anders, to a new challenge of headship in a different Authority, we are looking for a strong, collaborative leader with the vision to develop Green Fold into an even more successful school; a leader who can inspire all stakeholders to join together within the Federation to achieve the highest standards of education.

We can offer you an excellent opportunity to continue your professional development, where you will receive a high level of commitment and support from staff, governors and families.

This is a particularly exciting time to be part of the Federation since we also have a new Executive Head Teacher starting in September – Katie Hague.
