Deputy Head Teacher

Due to our Assistant Headteacher moving on to a new exciting role and the school's expansion, an exciting opportunity has become available to join our Senior Leadership Team as Deputy Headteacher. This is an opportunity to be part of a dynamic team and shape the future success of Kisharon School and its children. In fact, there couldn’t be a better time to join the team than now as we look forward to increasing our pupil numbers and growing as a team.

At Kisharon we believe in providing exciting, creative, relevant, and meaningful learning experiences.  Our wonderful new school building provides a learning environment, with a multitude of opportunities for accessibility, engagement, stimulation, and therapeutic interventions.

Our ideal candidate will need to be a strong leader and an outstanding educational practitioner with the ability to evaluate and drive forward innovative teaching and learning. They will show a genuine commitment to the school’s principles of inclusion, as well as a strong focus on students, their parents/carers and the school community.
