Nova Education Trust

Nova Education Trust is driven by a simple and unwavering mission: to create transformational schools. Nova is dedicated to empowering pupils in its 15 academies to become aspirational learners and grow into confident and resilient young people who are values-driven and conscientious.

The Trust is now seeking an exceptional educational leader to take up post as Head of Westdale Junior School. Located in Mapperley, Nottingham, Westdale is a vibrant and friendly school where children love to learn. Pupils in Years 3 – 6 enjoy a warm and inclusive environment where they are happy, well-motivated, and challenged to achieve high standards through a fun and enriched curriculum. It is a calm, stable, caring community where all children are encouraged to develop a lifelong interest in learning and know that both they and their work are valued.

This is a school on an exciting journey with tremendous potential. Westdale is currently rated Good by Ofsted, with 72% of pupils meeting expected standards in reading, writing, and maths (well above the national and local authority average). The school is looking for the right Headteacher to build on already strong foundations, with the aim of becoming one of Nottingham’s top-performing primary schools.

As Head of Westdale Junior School, you will have the full support of Nova Education Trust. Nova is dedicated not only to achieving exceptional outcomes for its pupils, but also to being an outstanding employer. You will have access to sector-leading CPD and benefits in an environment committed to cultivating best practice, collaboration, and shared learning.
