WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our schools are places of possibility and we never underestimate the impact inspirational staff can have on the life chances of our students. We are seeking a professional and dynamic Deputy Headteacher to build upon our strengths and take the Academy forward on the next stage of our journey.

• be provided with a provision of support and training to foster a positive culture of wellbeing for all students and staff

We place a strong emphasis on supporting senior leaders and we actively encourage personal development, which includes:
