Deputy Head

Godwin Junior School is a successful, expanding three and four-form entry junior school in Forest Gate, Newham.  We serve a vibrant and diverse community, where excellent relationships promote an inclusive, warm and secure environment where children feel safe and valued.

Central to the ethos and vision of our school is the belief that every child can achieve well and that it is our purpose ‘to prepare our children for lifelong success’. As members of the Whole Education network, we are committed to developing the whole child - not just achieving strong academic results but also helping the children to explore and develop their artistic, drama, musical, debating and sporting talents. Our UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools status demonstrates our commitment to global citizenship in the school’s ethos, curriculum and after-school clubs.

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and inspirational Deputy Head who can play a crucial role in our journey from ‘good’ to ‘outstanding’. If you are interested in being a key part of this vision please visit our website for more information and arrange to visit the school.
