Deputy Headteacher

Governors wish to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and committed Deputy Headteacher to share in the leadership and management of the school. Southbury is a very successful two form entry primary school with 480 children and over 80 staff. We have a diverse population that reflects the vibrancy of our area of North London and are committed to ensuring excellent progress and outcomes for all of our children. This is a wonderful opportunity to play a crucial role in the next stage of development of our school.

Our last Ofsted report in October 2013 said we were a Good School with Outstanding grades for both Leadership & Management and Behaviour and we now have an opportunity to build on this success.

Following the promotion of our last Deputy Head to Headship we need a Deputy Head who is able to work strategically with us to continue to raise standards

The successful applicant will:

• Have an extensive knowledge of the primary curriculum
• Be committed to inclusion, high expectations and raising standards
• Have the vision and motivation to inspire others, to raise standards and promote excellence
• Demonstrate effective leadership, management and interpersonal skills
• Support the warm and caring ethos of the school
• Support partnerships with staff, pupils, parents, governors and the community

We can offer you:

• A very warm, friendly and supportive staff with a strong commitment to teamwork.
• Excellent opportunities to hone and develop your own skills towards headship – Three members of our Senior Management Team have moved onto Headteacher posts in recent years.
• Children from a vibrant and ethnically diverse community who are keen to learn
• The opportunity to work with children and staff across the school (This is a non-class based position)

We very much hope interested candidates will arrange to visit the school and talk to the Headteacher. These informal visits will always be individual, never as part of a group and can be organised either during or after the school day, to suit candidates, and can be arranged by telephoning the school office on 020 8804 1710
