Deputy Headteacher

This is an exciting opportunity to join Evergreen School, an all-through community special school across 2 separate sites in Warwick. We have over 280 children on roll ranging from 4 to 19 years old. Although our campuses aren’t strictly split by age, our campus on Deansway provides for predominantly primary-aged children and our campus situated on Brittain Lane provides for secondary aged children and young adults.

We think that Evergreen School is a wonderful and exciting place to be and we know that we have the most incredible children. All of us here are learning all of the time. If you have the very highest standards and expectations for yourself and everyone around you, a passion for learning and developing and believe that working with children and young people is the greatest privilege anyone can ever have, then we think you will love it too.

"My leadership philosophy centres around growth mindset, where each individual is encouraged and empowered to grow and develop. I want our children and young people to be excited, and most importantly happy turning up to school each day. Our children and young people deserve to have wonderful experiences of the world around them, learn new skills that are being delivered in an innovative way, thrive and be prepared to live in and contribute to their local community, grow as individuals, follow their interests and be the heartbeat of their curriculum. This individualised and tailored approach is the essence of specialist provision." (Nick, Head Teacher)

Class groups all have a teacher, senior teaching assistant and additional support staff and we have school nurses, and family support workers on site. A multi-disciplinary team including speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and a wide range of other professionals supports the work of the teaching staff.

Our pupils benefit from a broad range of educational resources and learning spaces. Across both sites we have a swimming pool which is equipped with a sensory multi-media system, a hydrotherapy pool, a soft play room, cookery rooms and two sensory studios. Our secondary site has an ICT suite, Art room, DT room, Gym, and recently opened a Book Café and Enterprise Shop.

There are separate, beautifully equipped playgrounds for all key stages and in addition we have soft surface sensory areas to offer a different play experience for our more complex needs pupils. All of our pupils also access forest school on a weekly basis.

The school has a range of facilities which enable outside professionals to liaise and meet with parents and staff. A variety of clinics are held at the school regularly. We are very well served by computer driven technology, with large plasma screens and visualisers in every classroom. There is high speed broadband internet and Wi-Fi access throughout the school.

We are committed to Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of those we serve, as well as complying with best practice in the application of safeguarding. Therefore, as our roles are in regulated activity, an enhanced DBS Disclosure will be required as part of the pre-employment checking process, and re-checking will be required when determined by the relevant policy. We will request references and conduct an online search at the shortlisting stage. One reference must be from your current employer. If you are employed in a school, the reference must be from the Headteacher.
