Holy Cross is on a journey of rapid development, which is being driven by a new Headteacher and SLT. The school now has an exciting opportunity for a forward-thinking Deputy Headteacher with a bright and positive outlook, who will work together with the Headteacher and staff team to continue to support the school and pupils in going from strength to strength.
For a Deputy Head within a small or similar school environment, this could be your next challenge. Equally, for a capable and experienced middle leader with still yet untapped potential, this might be the right opportunity for you. Much work has been done in creating and mapping an inspiring, bespoke curriculum this year, which the new Deputy Headteacher will now strategically co-ordinate and embed. They will also use data and assessment across the school, to work with Teachers, Teaching Assistants and the SENDCo to support and challenge all pupils. The Deputy Headteacher will work with the SLT to secure school improvement across the school.
