Job overview

Stepney Park Primary School is a newly established three / four form entry school which opened its doors for the first time in September 2020.

Stepney Park Primary School, situated in the heart of London’s ethnically and economically diverse East End, is an amalgamation of two already successful neighbouring primary schools: Redlands Primary School and Smithy Street Primary school.

We are a very well resourced and funded school, our ICT infrastructure is excellent, all of our children now have a Chromebook, and we are ready to take on the next challenge of embedding Digital Learning in class when our children return to school. Our new Deputy Headteacher will play a big part in implementing our vision for this. 

Our amazing teaching team has shown incredible resilience and commitment during these challenging Covid and amalgamation times. The team members work closely together and have made a great start with the implementation of our very exciting curriculum, both digitally and beyond.

We passionately believe in Inclusion and have a highly specialised team of professionals working with our SEND children. Our children are welcoming, eager to learn and they display very good behaviour.

We are also fortunate to have very supportive Governors and engaged parents who are ambitious for their children.

Please have a look at our website to get a flavour of our exciting new school. 

Working in Stepney Park Primary School will give you the opportunity to be part of something unique, you will be able to help us shape the future of our brand new school.

Working here in Tower Hamlets, one of the most successful Local Authorities in the country, will enable you to benefit from working in close partnership with many other successful schools, through membership with the Teach East London Teaching School Alliance and through the Stepney Partnership.

Our new Deputy Headteacher will be responsible, alongside other leaders, for the further development and implementation of our new curriculum and our assessment strategy. There is no regular teaching commitment with this role, although you may occasionally be asked to cover a class.

We are looking for someone dynamic and creative, someone who has confidence, a strong vision, a passion for cutting edge curriculum innovation and the ability to inspire and lead others. Experience of leading a range of subjects, across a number of age ranges and in a variety of schools would be an advantage.
