Kolding Municipality seeks an experienced and engaged headteacher for Bramdrup School with a start date of December 1, 2026.

Bramdrup School is a large and diverse school with a strong professional foundation and a clear local anchoring. Now we are seeking the headteacher who will lead Bramdrup School and the continued development.

You will have responsibility for a school with approximately 580 pupils from 0th to 9th grade, a special center with about 55 pupils, and a staff group with different professional backgrounds and competencies. It gives a diverse school where diversity and inclusion are among our strongest assets.

Bramdrup School’s ambition is to be the natural first choice for families in the district.

Bramdrup School

Bramdrup School is located in a strong and engaged local area with an active community around the school. Parents and the school board are engaged, and the school has a close collaboration with the local community. We also see potential in strengthening the school’s position in the district and cooperation with local associations and other partners.

The school has good physical facilities and outdoor areas, which are continuously improved in collaboration with the local community. We have, among other things, Spacenet, a crossfit training area, a music playground, a play tower and a swing area, as well as a Makerspace with digital and analog tools.

You will join a school where a strong professional foundation has been created. The task is to build on what works, and at the same time take the next development steps.

You have an eye for what requires leadership attention, and what is best solved close to practice and professional expertise.

You will join a stable and skilled staff group with different competencies and a common view of children. There is a focus on structure, clarity and well-being as well as constructive collaboration with staff, union representatives, MED (Co-ordination/Body), the school board and parents.
