The core purpose of the headteacher is to provide professional leadership and
management of the school. This will promote a secure foundation from which to achieve
high standards in all areas of the school’s work. To gain this success a headteacher
must establish high quality education by effectively managing teaching and learning and
using personalised learning to realise the potential of all pupils.
Headteachers must establish a culture that promotes excellence, equality and high
expectations of all pupils. This will include ensuring that religious education is in
accordance with the teachings, doctrines, discipline and general and particular norms of
the Catholic Church.
The ‘preferred future’, expressed in the strategic vision and development of a Catholic
school, stems from the educational mission of the Church, which is reflected in the
school’s mission statement and school improvement plan.
The headteacher, working with the governing body and others, is expected to draw on
the person, life and teachings of Jesus Christ to create a shared vision and strategic
plan, which inspires and motivates pupils, staff and all other members of the community.
The vision should explore Gospel values, core educational values and moral purpose
and be inclusive of stakeholders’ values and beliefs.
The headteacher is the leading professional in the school. Accountable to the governing
body, the headteacher provides vision, leadership and direction for the school and
ensures that it is managed and organised to meet its aims and targets. The
headteacher, working with others, is responsible for evaluating the schools’
performance to identify the priorities for continuous improvement and raising standards;
ensuring equality of opportunity for all; developing policies and practices; ensuring that
resources are efficiently and effectively used to achieve the school’s aims and
objectives and for the day-to-day management, organisation and administration of the
school.
The headteacher, working with and through others, secures the commitment of the
wider community to the school by developing and maintaining effective partnerships
with, for example, schools, other services and agencies for children, parishes, the
Diocese, the Local Authority, higher education institutions and employers. Through such
partnerships and other activities, headteachers play a key role in contributing to the
development of the education system as a whole and collaborate with others to raise
standards locally.
Drawing on the support provided by members of the school community, the
headteacher is responsible for creating a productive learning environment which is
engaging and fulfilling for all pupils.
