We are exceptionally proud of our dedicated and caring staff team, our hard‑working and well‑behaved children, our vibrant learning environment and our strong partnership with parents and carers. We are deeply committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of background or ability, achieves their very best. Equally, we are passionate about developing the talent of all staff, enabling them to flourish and succeed.

We are pleased to offer a rare and exciting opportunity to join our senior leadership team as Deputy Headteacher (Behaviour and Assessment), following the promotion of the current postholder.

Coten End Primary is part of Stowe Valley Multi Academy Trust, offering the benefits of close collaboration with colleagues across the trust, shared expertise, enhanced opportunities for pupils, and a rich professional learning offer for staff.

Our leadership structure includes two Deputy Headteachers, working closely with the Head of School and Executive Headteacher. This role would suit an experienced and ambitious leader seeking to further develop their leadership journey as part of a supportive and forward‑thinking senior leadership team.

“We all share the school’s passion and commitment to provide an enjoyable, excellent education for all the children and the best possible professional fulfilment for all staff. We fully support the school’s strong caring ethos combined with rigorous educational ambitions for its pupils.”
