Deputy Head Primary

Maharishi Free School

Maharishi Free School wishes to appoint an outstanding 

Primary Deputy Headteacher

Full-time permanent, with a maximum class size of 18 students. 

Start date: 1 September 2017.

The Maharishi Free School is an Academy situated in West Lancashire, north-west England in proximity to both Liverpool and Greater Manchester. 

It is a wonderful place to be – a dynamic learning environment combined with a harmonious atmosphere where children aged from 4 – 16 receive the uniquely effective system of Consciousness-based Education. The School is built over two sites, Primary and Secondary each with a Deputy Head.

Creativity and intelligence are systematically developed with a few minutes of Transcendental Meditation (TM) at the beginning and end of the school day. Scientific research – based upon more than 200 studies - has shown that the experience of restful alertness during TM brings balance to the whole physiology, making learning both enjoyable and successful.

We can offer you:

• An opportunity to join a School with a very strong, shared and uniquely effective ethos which forms the basis of its success – Consciousness-based Education
• A School that was approved in the first round of Free Schools (2011) 
• A School with an excellent reputation and small class sizes (18 pupils per class) 
• a School graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted, whose focus is on the holistic development of the students
• Full onsite support for developing your understanding and practice of Consciousness-based Education
• Great staff and a harmonious working environment – where exceptionally high dedication is the norm and staff turnover is rare
• Position reports to the Maharishi School Principal 

We are seeking a candidate who will:

• Exhibit outstanding teaching and classroom management
• Radiate creativity and enthusiasm in the classroom
• Have high expectations of yourself and pupils
• Have a genuine commitment to learning about Consciousness-based Education
