Further details about the role
A bit about us:
Following the promotion to headship of our current Deputy Headteacher, our beautiful school and community is now seeking to employ a new Deputy Headteacher to continue our drive for continual improvement.
We are a highly successful school with children who are excited, eager to learn and behave impeccably as a result of the culture and ethos of love, care and respect embedded here at St Osmund’s.
This is an exciting proposition for the right candidate who has the ambition, energy and skills to build on the numerous strengths at St Osmund’s, and alongside the Headteacher, keep our happy, diverse and forward-thinking school at the forefront of education. This post would be a great opportunity for someone eager to move their leadership to the next level in an outward facing, challenging and supportive environment, with a governing body and staff at all levels who are eager to support you.
We would like our new deputy headteacher to take on the class teaching responsibility for Year 6 and there will be the support in place to enable the successful candidate to fulfil their responsibilities as Deputy Headteacher. However, outstanding candidates with skills and experience better suited to another year group will be considered equally. It would therefore be helpful for candidates to indicate in the application their suitability and evidence.
If you believe you can provide excellent leadership that motivates others to ensure the very best education for all our children, and you are excited about the opportunities for professional growth that lie ahead, then we would like to hear from you.
We welcome visits at any time to see our wonderful school; our children really are the best ambassadors of all that we value.
