Due to the promotion of the current headteacher to a trust-wide executive role, The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership has an exciting opportunity for an outstanding and outward facing individual to lead The Arthur Terry School.

The current headteacher describes her past ten years at the school as the most remarkable and rewarding period of her career in education. This chimes with the CEO’s views, himself a former headteacher at the school, who says that ‘the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership has changed his life, eclipsing all that came before it.’

Arthur Terry was judged good for quality of education in November 2022 but outstanding in all other areas. It is an outward-facing school with a long history supporting system leadership and is currently a languages hub and a Teaching School Hub serving North Birmingham. Alongside our system support, we continue to ensure that our school remains at the forefront of best practice. We continue to ensure our children learn the powerful knowledge that helps them understand the world in which they live, their place in it, who they are now and who they can be in the future.

Arthur Terry School has a proud history of evidence-informed pedagogy, complemented by our leading-edge Learning Futures programme. The school hosts a high number of visitors, including sector leaders and ministers of state. The Arthur Terry School is not a school that stands still. Leaders continually challenge themselves to be even better. We need someone who will continue this journey. The school’s next headteacher will maintain the school’s external profile and understand the need to retain exceptional performance. We need someone who understands Arthur Terry’s unique position in our trust, in the local education landscape and on the national stage. We need someone who is used to that pressure, thrives in that environment, doesn’t turn away from challenges and judiciously uses everything at their disposal to keep the school focused on demonstrable exceptional performance in its widest context.
