A unique hybrid role within an outstanding school in Richmond. The role is split between Sports Leadership across the school, and supporting individual children with complex needs.
As Sports Leader, the successful candidate will coach extra-curricular sports teams, oversee the strategy for sporting development and participation across the school, manage sporting events and team selection, and be a role model for the positive value of sport in children’s personal development. The school Sports Leader will develop strong relationships with children and families, building on the school’s strong sporting culture to deliver an inclusive, extensive and high-quality sporting provision.

As a Learning Support Assistant, the successful candidate will provide high-quality support for children with Education, Healthy and Care Plans in a mainstream class. The role will involve working closely with individual children with complex needs, supporting their academic and personal development, and being a ‘champion’ for individual children within our school setting.

A very warm welcome to Deer Park School – a brand new primary free school which has opened in Richmond Upon Thames for children aged 4 to 11 years old.
The school takes great pride in its happy and warm environment, where each and every pupil is valued and supported. Pupils at Deer Park School are nurtured and guided through life; we aim to stimulate and inspire each child, develop their interests and equip them with lifelong learning skills.
The school opened with one class of 30 children in September 2015 – this will eventually increase to an intake of 60 children once we move into our permanent site. We will then admit up to 60 children each year to the Reception year and when full, the school will have 420 pupils on roll. The admissions point for the school will also be taken from Ryde House, our permanent location, for all parents applying from September 2018 onwards.
