Job overview
Deputy Head
Stamford High School is seeking to appoint a dynamic and proactive practitioner to the role of Deputy Head following the promotion of the present post-holder to a Headship.
The post requires a candidate with a genuine interest in the education of young people in its widest sense and an ability to think both creatively and strategically about School life. It would suit someone with appropriate experience seeking a Senior Leadership Team (SLT) post for the first time or an existing senior team member looking to further their areas of responsibility; either type of candidate will be looking to move on to Headship in the future and the post will offer the chance to gain extensive experience of School leadership and management.
Stamford High School is part of the Stamford Endowed Schools and is part of a “diamond structure”; there would be an opportunity to lead and manage aspects of School life across all three of the Endowed Schools for the right candidate.
Stamford is situated on the edge of Lincolnshire with easy road and rail access to London and within reach of a number of international airports. In 2013 it was declared “the best place to live in Britain” by the Sunday Times and has been described as “the finest stone town in England”. Stamford Endowed Schools are a major employer in the town and being a “great place to work” is part of its ethos.
The post will commence in September 2017.
Candidates considering the post are encouraged to call the Head, Vicky Buckman, for an informal discussion about the role on 01780 484241.

The Schools are part of the great heritage of Stamford and a symbol of its vibrancy and evolution. The Schools have been established in Stamford since 1532, providing a first class education for children. Today the Schools remain interwoven with Stamford life, to which our students, teachers and parents contribute greatly. At Stamford we have one simple and overriding aim, that is to inspire our students and light fires within them.
The schools educate 1650 pupils at the Stamford Junior School for children aged 2-11, Stamford School for students aged 11-16, and Stamford Sixth Form for students aged 16-18.
This is a really exciting time to be joining the School as after nearly 500 years as a boys’ school and 200 years as a girls’ school, we have joined together as a fully co-educational school. This restructure is giving us the opportunity to look at all aspects of school life with fresh eyes, and we are looking at everything from how we provide the best possible pastoral care to how we shape the timetable, how we make best use of our estate, to how AI can support classroom learning. It is a big change, but a once in a generation opportunity to really set up the School for the next hundred years.
After this positive change, stamfordians will still be able to leave here poised for success in the real world - quietly confident, kind, positive, hardworking, unassuming and resilient. We are independent schools nurturing independent minds.
"I love the idea of preparing our kids from the school room to the boardroom in the 21st century, wherever that boardroom is in a rainforest in Brazil or as a CEO or working with a charity in India. Just as we have a big responsibility, so will they. I want them not just to be content to live in the world but to change it. Exciting!”
Principal, Will Phelan
