Close to the City Centre just off Ecclesall Road, Porter Croft Church of England Primary Academy is at the heart of vibrant and supportive community and has a reputation for innovative practice and staff development. Rated as outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in March 2015, we are looking to appoint a forward thinking leader to support our new Headteacher in leading the next phase in our journey as a pioneering learning community where everyone matters.
