We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and innovative Deputy Head Teacher to support the Head Teacher in leading our caring and supportive school.

The successful candidate will be key player in the development of our school. They will have a major influence on our future direction and as such will need to share our vision and have the energy, enthusiasm and organisational skills to make things happen. We are most passionate about getting the right skills and qualities in this key role. You will find the specifics of the type of leader we are looking for in the person specification.

However, it is very important to us that you must have a strong moral compass, which guides all their decisions, actions and behaviours to ensure that students and staff thrive together. You must be committed to driving high standards, with the ability to inspire staff and students to achieve their personal best. This will be particularly important as we are a growing school and we want to continue to nurture and grow every child regardless of our size. This will need high levels of motivation, passion and willingness to go 'above and beyond' for staff and students.
