Deputy Head of School (Primary) job summary
The person appointed will be an experienced middle leader within an existing Primary School and able to act as a key leader across the Primary Section as well as provide direct line management to staff within Years R to 3 or Year 4, 5 and 6. The successful candidate will work with a dedicated, and growing, team of Assistant Headteachers and Phase Leaders to support the development of our (relatively) new provision.
Not only is our Primary Section very popular and heavily oversubscribed with parents, but also with staff. Our recent advert for Primary Classroom teachers resulted in over 60 applications. Consequently, you would be joining a very high calibre team and therefore, successful experience of working in a school which has been graded as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ is essential as is a demonstrable track record of improving outcomes at KS1 and/or KS2.

We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. New members of staff will be required to apply for Disclosure Service certification as part of the School's staff recruitment process.

Mayfield is a very successful and heavily oversubscribed school in the north of Portsmouth City. We are one of the first state, single-site, ‘all through’ schools in the country. We operate an “Outstanding” Pre-School and Nursery with reduced fees and preferential access for Mayfield staff. We have been successful in our bid to receive ‘Priority School Building’ funding which will result in the construction of a multi-million, ‘state of the art’ new build on the current school site which is due to open in summer 2021. In September 2016, OfSTED conducted a section 5 inspection and found all areas to be ‘good’ and in summer 2018 the school secured it’s best ever results across all key stages. All staff members have the opportunity to work across all sections of the school depending on their interest, skills and experience. During this period of growth, we have a number of vacancies in all sections and truly believe “our only limitation is our ambition”.
