Deputy Headteacher
Leadership 16 – 19 (Permanent. September 2025)
This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an inspirational and talented leader to take the post of Deputy Headteacher and ensure that The Dean Academy continues to go from strength to strength. The Dean Academy is a school that is improving rapidly and was judged as “good in all areas” by Ofsted in September 2021. Since then, academic standards have continued to improve, and the school has gone through an exciting phase of growth with both staff and students. As such we are looking to appoint a new Deputy Headteacher to a permanent position to start in September 2025.
The successful candidate will be the school’s sole Deputy and will be an outstanding leader with a proven track record of school improvement. They will have a background as an excellent teacher and have experience of school leadership over a varied range of areas. They will work closely with the Headteacher and specific areas of responsibility will be dependent upon the skills and experience of the successful candidate and the balance of the current leader. The successful applicant must be willing to work hard, day in and out, leading and inspiring colleagues and making decisions that ensure we sustain the trajectory of rapidly improving GCSE outcomes and destinations for the young people we serve, whilst simultaneously supporting their personal development and providing a high quality of experience during their time as a Dean Academy student.
The Dean Academy is an 11-16 school with approximately 750 students on roll in Lydney, in the beautiful Forest of Dean. The number of students is expected to increase to almost 900 from 2025. As a local and fully comprehensive school, The Dean Academy is part of the highly successful Athelstan Trust. We are a school who have been on an incredible journey of rapid improvement and were judged as “good in all areas” in September 2021. The successful candidate will share the drive and ambition of our dedicated staff in continuing this community of transformation and will be keen to deliver exceptional education in a “school where students thrive” (Ofsted, 2021).
Commitment to safeguarding
The Athelstan Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. If successful in being called for interview, all candidates are expected to apply for an enhanced DBS before appointment is confirmed.
