Deputy Headteacher

Wellfield School is seeking to appoint an exceptional, highly aspirational, dynamic leader with a strong, proven track record of sustained school improvement to join us as a Deputy Headteacher.

Ideally, you will be a current Deputy Headteacher who wants to make a bigger difference or an experienced Senior Leader able to demonstrate significant and successful school improvement. 

You should place Students First in every decision you make, with the sole intention of improving their future life chances, irrespective of background or starting point. 

Our Trust is defined by our core values of Inclusion, Progression and Excellence in all that we do. This is a rare leadership opportunity for an individual to make their mark and contribute to securing NCDAT as an educational influencer both regionally and nationally.

As an experienced professional, you will be able to demonstrate strategic leadership, coupled with excellent people management skills. Your track record and engaging personality will be such that it gains the immediate respect of staff, students and parents/carers alike. You will be able to demonstrate extensive staff development experience and expertise. Most importantly, you will have a passion for education and students’ learning, with the determination to make a positive difference and commitment to continuous improvement across the Trust.

 The successful candidate will be financially astute and possess the skills to interpret and use data to drive performance with rigorous quality assurance. As a champion for the welfare and behaviour of students, you will ensure our caring culture is maintained. You should also be a positive communicator who is able to engage parents/carers whilst motivating staff and students.

Interested candidates who would like to arrange a visit or have a preliminary discussion with the Head of School can email Kelly Jobes—Headteacher’s PA at k.jobes@wellfieldschool.net whereupon a mutually convenient date and time will be arranged.
