Deputy Headteacher

Would you like to join a well-established and successful team in a consistently high performing, oversubscribed, 11-16 all-girls school that focuses on each child as an individual whilst fostering a sense of belonging to a rich and diverse community?  Greenbank High School is commit¬ted to supporting every child to develop to their full academic potential whilst experiencing a wide and exciting range of op¬portunities to equip them with the skillset for a successful future as rounded, mature and confident members of modern British society.

Students at Greenbank High School consistently make very good progress reflected in the Progress 8 scores over the last three years. Attainment is significantly above national averages. You will be jointly responsible for leading the school to the next stage as a centre of excellence and ensuring our pupils, parents and staff know they are in the best school in the world!

As Deputy Headteacher, you will be responsible for leading on as¬pects of school improvement. You will be a role model to staff, who will look to you for outstanding line manage¬ment, support and challenge. We recognise that as a sen¬ior leader, you will also need support and challenge your¬self so that you can grow to be the best you can be and we will commit to making this happen. We need some¬one who is passionate about making a difference, who is a highly skilled, driven and a successful school leader with a range of recent experience ready to take on this crucial new role at Greenbank. We anticipate that you may have the desire to be a Headeacher in the future.

This role offers an exciting prospect for an outstanding practitioner to take full advantage of the unique opportunities that our school brings and to make a significant impact on raising standards of achieve¬ment for all students across the school.

You would be joining the Southport Learning Trust, a newly formed Trust that includes Greenbank High School and a local sponsored secondary school, Stanley High School. The Trust is expected to grow over the next year. This post has arisen from the Deputy Headteacher of Greenbank being appointed as the Headteacher of Stanley High School. Being part of a Trust would give you the opportunity to share and be involved in developing practice across several schools.
