Deputy Headteacher (Inclusion and Student Support)
Required for September 2026, we are seeking to appoint two positive, dynamic, enthusiastic and well qualified Deputy Headteachers to join a highly successful Leadership Team. This would be a great opportunity for an existing Assistant Headteacher who is looking for a new challenge and to develop their career.
Our school has an excellent reputation at local and national level. The last inspection by Ofsted in 2024 judged us to be outstanding in all areas. This was our fifth outstanding report and, whilst we are very proud of this achievement, we are in no way complacent. In addition to excellence in terms of academic outcomes, our purpose is to provide a supportive, stimulating and secure environment in which young people can thrive. As such, we seek to employ inspirational and energetic staff, committed to the school’s ethos. In return, we aim to provide opportunities for continuing professional growth and development for all staff, beginning with a well-established induction.
Please do take time to read the job descriptions and person specifications. Potential candidates may also wish to know that our admissions policy enables the school to prioritise the admission of children of staff recruited to posts in which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. All staff employed in the school must be aware that an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be undertaken.
