We have a new Headteacher starting in September 2017, and she is looking for a dynamic and innovative Deputy Headteacher who understands both children and adults and is able to help them achieve their very best through a culture of care and collaboration.  You must be an energetic professional with experience of leading teams, monitoring teaching and learning and raising standards for all children.  You should have recent EYFS and/or KS1 experience.

Our new Deputy Headteacher must:

Have the drive to make a real difference to the lives of all our children

Be fully committed to the school's ethos of high expectations, creativity and care

Be able to demonstrate excellent classroom practice, effectively meeting the individual needs of the children

Have proven experience of developing excellence and positively impacting progress and raising attainment

Have a commitment to inclusion and passion for ensuring all pupils reach their full potential

Have the ability to coach, mentor, motivate staff and lead by example

Have excellent leadership, organisational and interpersonal skills

Be resourceful, innovative and calm under pressure

Enjoy working in a school!

The position is full time and permanent, with a start date of January 2018, or sooner if possible.  At present the post will include some teaching, but not the main responsibility for a class.  Informal visits to the school are strongly recommended so you can see our wonderful school in action, and you are encouraged to speak to the Headteacher designate.

Please contact our office to make an appointment for a visit and for details of how to contact the incoming Headteacher.  We look forward to meeting you.
