Deputy Headteacher

We are incredibly proud of our ambitious, curriculum focused, research-driven school. Our vision is built around the principles of ambition, respect and belonging and we have a strong commitment to the development of our staff as outstanding professionals.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a proven leader to make a difference as Deputy Headteacher. We are looking for a great leader who is ready to drive our strategic vision. The specific responsibilities in this post are around Teaching and Learning, research and improvement but we are keen to hear from outstanding leaders who are able to contribute to our strategic direction and so the specific responsibilities will be discussed with the successful applicant. The role arises due to the promotion to headship of the current postholder. It will involve supporting the Headteacher in the oversight of the strategic vision for our school as well as the development and leadership of our talented team of Assistant Headteachers and Lead Practitioners.

We are looking for a driven and passionate leader with the inspiration, motivation, vision and expertise to:

• continue to develop, communicate and deliver the strategic vision for the school


• provide dynamic and professional leadership and management of the school


• ensure that achievement rises across all subjects based on the delivery of an appropriate and inspiring curriculum and evidenced through analysis of student performance and outcomes


What the school offers its staff

It is our ambition to become a beacon of excellence where our learners don't just achieve great results but also grow and develop into successful and caring young people. We believe that all our students and staff should be known, valued and loved and our success as a school is built on strong positive relationships between all members of our community. We value our staff and invest in their professional development, believing that everyone has the ability to become great at what they do. This post would be ideal for anyone considering Headship. We are an oversubscribed secondary school and we are fortunate to work in a modern and well resourced learning environment. Our students are at the centre of all we do and our staff have a passion for improving the life chances of the young people and the community we serve.
