Personal Development is a key focus in our school and the successful candidate will be committed to ensuring that pupils in our school are supported to become active global citizens who celebrate differences and demonstrate high levels of respect for others.
We are seeking someone who will set the highest of expectations and be a key contributor to our school’s culture of continuous improvement in order to achieve the best educational experience and outcomes for pupils.
As Deputy Headteacher, you will also be responsible for supporting curriculum development, monitoring and developing attendance and developing trainee teachers. The Deputy Headteacher will also be required to act as Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead.
You must be an excellent communicator and have the ability to forge strong relationships with pupils, parents, colleagues, local schools and community networks.
In return, we will offer you:
? The opportunity to join a well-established school
? Collaboration with like-minded professionals with common goals and aspirations for their schools
? Support for your ongoing professional development
