The Castle School is seeking to appoint a Deputy Headteacher who will provide professional and inspirational leadership for the School to ensure its continued success, improvement and development. The Deputy Head will deputise for the Headteacher in all matters as required.
There is flexibility within our SLT structure for the successful applicant to have responsibility for either Pastoral or Curriculum depending on the candidate, and you will work alongside our Headteacher, current Deputy Headteacher as well as our three Assistant Heads
This is a key strategic role on our school and we will give you opportunities to develop leadership and management, to work with some of the best teachers in the country and to develop your leadership from some of the best in the profession. The detail of the role will be discussed with you so that we strengthen what you are already good at and give you opportunities to develop in preparation for Headship, if that is what you wish. Headship is not for everyone but there is a commitment to supporting you to achieve this through significant investment in your professional development. The benefits of working in our newly formed Blackdown Education Partnership (BEP) will be a source of support and opportunity. However, we are just as keen to meet candidates who wish to be deputies and to make that their sustained role.
We can offer you: An opportunity to work in an experienced and supportive team from whom you can learn, develop and grow. A friendly, busy and dynamic workplace where each day is different from the last. A competitive salary. Wider opportunities to be involved across our Trust. An energised and professional working environment. The Castle School is a special place to work, we expect a lot from our colleagues and the culture here ensures our students get the best possible education.
