We are seeking to appoint a Deputy Head Teacher who will rapidly move to the Headship of Brays School (Sheldon) upon school de-amalgamation at the end of the year. The successful applicant will need to work collaboratively with the Current Head Teacher to separate the school into two and then take up the Headship of Brays School (Sheldon). The current Head Teacher will take up the Headship of Leycroft Academy upon de-amalgamation. As both schools will be still run by Forward Education Trust (the employer) the terms and conditions of employment will not change upon de-amalgamation although the Job description will change to reflect the Headship role

You will be open to working collaboratively with the Trust and its schools, to maximise the educational and social opportunities available for our pupils.
