Longsight Community Primary is a community school which is truly inclusive and aims to meet the needs of all our children; care, respect and tolerance are the core values of our school. Longsight Community Primary is currently recruiting for a new Executive Headteacher, to start in September 2026.
As Headteacher of Longsight Community Primary, you'll lead the operational and strategic development of the school, working alongside an experienced senior leadership team. You'll build on our strong foundations to foster a positive, inclusive learning environment where both staff and pupils can thrive. Longsight Community Primary opened in September 2013.
The school is connected to the Longsight Family Hub on Farrer Road. Our school building is a wonderfully warm and inviting building that is full of light and space for children to think and be creative. This close link with the Hub and Nursery means that our parents are assured of high-quality provision, from birth right through to age 11.
