Job overview

Deputy Head teacher (Primary Phase) 

Required for April or September 2018 

Leadership Spine with Inner London Allowance   L14 - 18 (£61,695-  £67,305) 

Roll rising to Primary 440 and Secondary 1800

This is an excellent opportunity for  an inspirational and experienced leader, to widen their experience as part of forward thinking senior leadership team in an all through 3-19 community school. 

We are at the heart of an ethnically diverse community in London East, an area undergoing significant regeneration and the building of affordable homes.  Everyone is proud of what we are achieving in creating an inclusive, supportive, happy 3-19 all through school on a brand new campus.  

The school is located less than 10 minutes’ walk from Barking tube and mainline station (25 minutes from Liverpool Street station) and is easily accessible by road.  

We foster a collaborative culture where talented individuals are empowered to produce their best work in brand new purpose built accommodation. All our staff and pupils are highly valued.  

We are seeking a well-qualified and ambitious professional who is motivated to make a difference to the life chances of young people. The post would suit a team player who is committed to the happiness, well-being, self-esteem and progress of everyone at the school. The ability to teach in our secondary phase would be an advantage but is not essential.  

We have the highest expectations of everyone and can offer  

  • Highly aspirational pupils who are eager to learn, and very supportive parents. 
  • A highly supportive school in which teaching,  learning and care are the key priorities.
  • A suitable time allowance to fulfil this key role in the school.
  • Career development and coaching (Headship  training for exceptional candidates after 2 years in post).
  • Access to the LBBD affordable quality housing scheme.


Visit and tour of school prior to final application.  

Please contact Karen Dunnell kdunnell@eastbury.bardaglea.org.uk or telephone 0208 507 4518 for a telephone appointment to discuss the role with the Executive Head teacher and / or arrange a visit on Friday 26th January at 14:00.
