Further details about the role
Deprivation does not determine destiny!I hope that caught your attention.
I am Daniel, the executive headteacher of Mason Moor and St. Mary's - two schools totalling almost 1000 pupils in the city of Southampton. I was motivated to lead the schools, upon learning of their recent struggles - high teacher turnover, difficulty recruiting in the city and a lack of curriculum thinking to inspire and motivate the children.
I too grew up in a similar area to Mason Moor, in Manchester. I had a rocky start to education in a school that had suffered turbulence. I didn't read or write until I was at secondary, I had a statement of need and we were poor.I know the struggles that families who I serve face, because I've been in their shoes!My resolve to make a difference comes from a place of determination that we can change life-chances, improve a community and develop an institution that we can be proud of. Raising aspirations, therefore, is as big a part of the mission as raising their attainment. But it isn't for everyone and if you continue reading, I'm hoping it's because you might be that person!
Commitment to safeguarding
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and
expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be
subject to satisfactory references, health checks and DBS clearance.

estate.

team.
Our offer to every teacher:
• Bespoke professional development opportunities.
• Cutting-edge technology for the planning and delivery of lessons. Use of multi-
collaboration platforms to simplify the process of lesson planning.
• A device to help your planning, preparation and assessment.
• A ‘Staff wellbeing charter’ with perks including, a paid days leave throughout the year for
personal wellbeing. A commitment to reduce planning.
• The introduction of a new curriculum for non-core subjects that includes the sequential
planning, learning resources and visuals.

improvement - not onerous marking!
