Deputy Headteacher 

L12–L16: £66,665–£73,539 actual salary.
Required for September 2025.
Closing date: 10am, Monday 12 May 2025.

We are looking to appoint an energetic and committed professional, with successful middle and senior leadership experience, to the role of Deputy Headteacher. This post came about after the successful promotion of our current deputy headteacher. The school has an excellent reputation, achieves highly in terms of attainment and progress and is oversubscribed. It was rated “Good” overall with “Outstanding” in the Personal Development category in September 2022. 

‘Leaders have cultivated a school community that values many forms of success. They have placed the development of well-rounded individuals at the centre of their school.’ 

‘Pupils enjoy a broad and ambitious curriculum…’ 

The successful candidate will be an outstanding classroom practitioner who has already had proven success as a Middle and Senior leader. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the next phase of our journey as we prepare to strengthen and build on our successes. 

You will develop as a Deputy Headteacher within a visionary and enterprising context and have the potential to move on to Headship with the support of an experienced Headteacher and supportive Governing Body. 

Application form and further details are available on the school’s website. Please contact the head teacher’s personal assistant Mrs Mottram for further information or to arrange an informal visit. We will be delighted to welcome you to our school. 

The school is committed to safeguarding its pupils and this appointment depends upon an enhanced DBS disclosure. 

Closing date: 10am, Monday 12 May 2025.
