Job overview
Graham School - A great school on a journey to outstanding
Graham School in Scarborough is currently going through a period of transformation that will dramatically improve the life chances of our students and bring the school out of special measures. The new senior team require an enthusiastic Deputy Headteacher and classroom practitioner who can lead, manage and inspire our teachers and staff to provide the very best classroom practice for the children in our care; dramatically improving the quality of teaching and learning and improving outcomes across the curriculum.
You must be able to demonstrate outstanding ability to engage and inspire students through high quality classroom practice and have experience of sharing and disseminating this practice to others in your school so that all subjects benefit and apply your strategies. You should be able to show how you have held staff to account through robust and clear systems and that you have experience of challenging and supporting teachers to bring about rapid improvements in their classrooms.
Senior leadership experience in teaching and learning is required, but above all we are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated practitioner who can inspire others to follow them in developing new models of classroom practice across the school and generate rapid improvements in student outcomes through the quality of their educational experience. Our children get one chance; our vision is to make it an excellent one.
Only the best practice will do for our children, many of which come from some of the most challenging backgrounds in the UK. As a result, you will be provided with first class professional development through national providers, a generous budget and the authority to develop your strategy to bring about change.
Initial accommodation will be provided for the first term to enable you to settle into the area with a generous resettlement allowance for the right candidate.
You will need to be willing to contribute to the holistic development of our students and to support them in preparing for their future. There will be significant challenges to overcome but with huge potential rewards to be gained. If you think you have what it takes to make a significant difference to children’s’ lives and the energy and enthusiasm to join us on our journey, get in touch for a discussion with the Headteacher and organise a visit to our school.
Do you have what it takes to make a positive contribution to improving the life chances of the children of Scarborough? If you have do you will be supported with high quality CPD, a generous relocation allowance and ongoing opportunities to grow and develop your skills. And above all you will work with a fantastic and willing staff and the best students.

About Graham School
I am delighted you are interested in joining the team at Graham School. We have a highly ambitious, aspirational group of professionals who are raising standards and significantly improving the life chances of the young people of Scarborough and the Yorkshire Coast. I am delighted to be the Headteacher here and although there have been recent challenges, you could not find a more supportive, inclusive school to work in.
My staff team believe that learning conquers all and we are very much moving towards becoming the outstanding school that our young people and community deserve. Our school is a very special learning community filled with talented and creative staff, all of whom share my vision for excellence in teaching and learning and building character for our students.
It has been a year since Ofsted visited and in that time we have seen a positive transformation of almost every aspect of our work and last month we had a positive and very encouraging monitoring visit from Ofsted. We are now on one site, we’ve adopted a uniform that our students are proud to wear and improved our outcomes and attitudes for learning – no mean feat, but we are by no means complacent.
In 2019 we will join the Hope Learning Trust along with our coastal secondary partner, George Pindar School. Being part of a growing, successful multi-academy trust of both secondary and primary schools where we can share resources, develop our staff and support each other will bring huge improvements to our school improvement journey. Internally we have developed a strong CPD offer led by our Deputy Head for Teaching and Learning and we are able to take advantage of the SLE and NLE specialists that are part of Hope.
It is a privilege to lead Graham School. The school has a shared sense of purpose and a vision for success which inspires me on a daily basis. If you are appointed, you will join a truly aspirational body of professionals who really care about our young people. I encourage you to come and visit and learn more about us and thank you for taking the time to apply to join Graham School.
With kindest regards Emma Robins | Headteacher
