Job Title: Deputy Headteacher (Quality of Education)
Locations: Derby Pride Academy, 20 Orient Way, Derby, DE24 8BY
Grade/Scale: Leadership Scale 10 – 14 (Actual Salary £58,959 - £65,010)
Start date: 01 September 2024
Contract: Full-Time Teacher
Derby Pride Academy (DPA) plays a crucial role in Derby City’s strategy for SEMH/SEND, including working in very close partnership with local mainstream schools to reduce permanent exclusions. It is commissioned for 50 places for secondary pupils aged 11-16 years. DPA was initially a standalone Free School Academy before opting to join Esteem MAT a year ago.
Right now, we're searching for a visionary Deputy Headteacher to ignite the potential within our remarkable students and dedicated staff across Key Stages 3 and 4. We require someone with the knowledge, expertise, and flair, to support the on-going developments of the quality of education within an Alternative Provision (AP). This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an exceptional candidate to make a lasting impact on the lives of our pupils, fostering a positive and successful environment.
You will be joining DPA at an exciting time of change. A new Headteacher took up post in April of this year. Together, you will ‘make your mark’, lead with conviction and authority, and drive forward transformational change at pace. The role of Deputy Headteacher will have strategic oversight of the curriculum and CPD, with line management responsibility of the Assistant Headteachers and subject/curriculum specialist staff.
While experience within the AP or SEND sector is an advantage, it is not essential. We need someone with the expertise to lead a combination of the academic and nurture curriculums, including other alternative curriculums for pupils with SEMH. Applications from leaders with QTS from mainstream, special, AP, primary and secondary phases are welcome.
All of Esteem schools are well supported by a highly experienced and diverse trust central team, alongside a like-minded group of school leaders and experts across the trust.

Derby Pride Academy works to engage and sustain learning for vulnerable and challenging young people. We work with our students to improve their attainment, behaviour, attendance, self-esteem, and confidence whilst providing skills to support development as responsible members of the community; we raise expectations and contribute to the well-being and cohesion of the community we serve.
We believe that provision based on teaching young people how to achieve in core subjects, in managing personal behaviours and in developing employability skills is vital to success.
We deliver Alternative Provision which recognises that students are all individuals with different strengths and weaknesses, acknowledging that mainstream education is not for everyone.
We provide our students with a chance to engage in education whilst they prepare to regain a mainstream school, or specialist SEN place; students may find alternative placements supported by the academy or develop a range of skills to prepare them for employment, apprenticeship or other study routes beyond 16.
