Vice Principal job summary

All Saints Catholic College is looking for a practising Catholic school leader, a shining star who will flourish in the standalone role of Vice Principal.​

​We are located in the town of Huddersfield, close to the Pennines, midway between Leeds and Manchester. The College has a climate of high expectations where students thrive in a diverse learning community, being judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in November2022 and ‘Good with Outstanding Catholic Life and Mission' in our Section 48 Inspection in March 2025. We have also achieved the Secondary Geography Quality Mark in 2026-2029, and The Quality in Careers Standard.​

​This is an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Head or Deputy Head (and practising Catholic) who can show evidence of impact across most areas of school leadership, most notably in the categories as defined by the Ofsted Framework and in student outcomes.​

​The Principal, who has led the College since January 2018, is looking to appoint a standalone Vice Principal to complete her Senior Leadership Team. The successful candidate would work closely alongside her, the rest of the SLT and the whole school community as they seek to achieve excellence in all aspects of College life.​

​Specific responsibilities are not prescribed. Both Governors and the Principal simply wish to recruit the most able Catholic school leader, who comes equipped with proven leadership and management skills; who is approachable, empathetic and who will contribute to the Catholic Vision and strategic direction of the school.​
