Deputy Head at Mount Pleasant Lane Primary School, part of Spiral Partnership Trust
Mount Pleasant Lane is a 1½ form entry primary, set in spacious grounds in the Hertfordshire village of Bricket Wood on the outskirts of St Albans and Watford, with easy access to Jct 6 of the M1 and the North Orbital Road. We are part of the Spiral Partnership Trust, a multi-academy trust which specialises in developing excellent primary schools.
MPL Primary School lies at the heart of the lively local community and strives to provide an excellent learning environment where everyone feels valued, has the opportunity to develop their strengths and participate in new experiences. We are looking to appoint a passionate and forward thinking Deputy Head teacher who has the vision for further development to achieve a consistently high performance and will support the Head in leading an excellent team of teachers and administrative staff who are committed to driving the very best outcomes for every single child in our school.
The successful candidate will be a talented teacher in their own right who is enthusiastic to develop excellent teaching and learning, can provide clear, inspirational, ideas for raising educational standards throughout the school and has the ability to inspire and motivate all staff and pupils to achieve their full potential. At present the deputy role is combined with that of SENCo and the ideal candidate will have an interest in this area of responsibility. Our school has experienced a number of changes in recent years and this is a well-timed opportunity for a new deputy to join a professional and supportive team and really make a difference as we continue to move the school further forward.
Mount Pleasant Lane Primary School is part of the Spiral Partnership Trust family of six primary schools, which provides all staff with excellent development opportunities, the chance to work with other school leaders and enjoy the support and expertise of a strong, professional support team, including our Trust SENCo Leader.
