The Interim Executive Board is now seeking to appoint a new Deputy Headteacher. Working alongside and supporting our Headteacher, the successful candidate will have an in-depth understanding of the needs of our young people, be someone who is able to lead and inspire staff and who strives for excellence. The Deputy Headteacher will be fully committed to supporting our students to enable them to realise their fullest potential and who will help us take our school to “Good” and beyond.
What the school offers its staff
This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate and, in return, we can offer:

- an enthusiastic and dedicated team of staff
- pupils who are proud of their school and who are keen to learn

Following an Ofsted inspection in October 2023, where the school was judged to be Inadequate, the school has undergone a period of significant change in terms of both leadership and governance; and where a significant amount of work has already been undertaken to rapidly improve the school in all areas.
The Propeller Academy Trust, a special school multi-academy trust, has been named by the Department for Education as the school’s sponsor and it is anticipated that the school will join the Trust in February 2025.
