Deputy Head Teacher

Due to the promotion of the previous Deputy, the Governing Body of St John the Baptist CofE Primary School are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, ambitious and inspirational leader to be the Deputy Headteacher of our happy and friendly church school. We are looking for a teacher of outstanding ability who would welcome the opportunity to become an equally outstanding senior leader.
Benefits of being a Deputy at St Johns include:

• Being part of a positive, forward thinking team who strive to improve


• An opportunity to take a lead and further develop the school vision of 'life in all its fullness'


• Welcoming children who want to please


• Being part of a school that takes mental health and wellbeing seriously


• Being part of a leadership team that strives to help staff and children achieve their potential


• Weekly designated leadership time, outside of the classroom (approx. 3 days)


Requirements of the post include:

• An opportunity to teach across the entire primary phase, really getting to know our children and their families


• An interest in looking for new ways to think outside the box


• Empathy with children and their families


• An 'I can' attitude and positive mentality


• A commitment to the Christian distinctiveness of our school (we welcome faith and non-faith applications)


• Specific leadership responsibilities will be for assessment, behaviour, and leading teaching and learning across the school


If you want to work hard, help us to maintain and build on our high standards, and make a difference to the life and experience of our children, please contact the school to discuss. If you feel that you have the capability and ambition to be an outstanding Deputy, then please do not hesitate to find out more or arrange a visit.
