The Diocesan Director of Education or a delegated professional should be involved in the recruitment of all headteachers of church schools in line with the DBE’s statutory responsibility to advise church schools.

Working with governors to advise on a headteacher appointment provides an ideal opportunity to strengthen partnership working and support our schools. Please email the Diocesan Director of Education for more information about how we can support you.

DBE Guidance on the process is given HERE.
