Job overview

Creating opportunity, Developing learning, Sharing success

The school's senior leaders and governors are totally committed to improving the school.  

Their passion and determination have brought about significant improvements in teaching, achievement, attendance and behaviour. Ofsted March 2014

Teddington School is a highly successful, heavily oversubscribed community comprehensive school in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. We are looking to appoint, from January 2015, an experienced senior leader with presence and drive to the post of Deputy Headteacher. The successful candidate will be joining the recently appointed new Headteacher and the Senior Leadership Team at an exciting point in the development of our school.

Teddington School students have just achieved the school's best ever GCSE results and many have chosen to stay with the school to launch our new Sixth Form provision which opened this term in an impressive new state of the art building to the front of the school. The Headteacher and school community are keen to build further on these past successes to continue to deliver on our new school vision and so ensure all of our students and staff achieve above and beyond their perceived potential by being part of this warm, friendly and highly motivated school

The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher and leader and ready to lead others in ensuring the school's main priorities in this next phase of development are met and have lasting impact. The school is determined to ensure all our students make the best possible progress in a curriculum that meets their needs and enables successful progression to the Sixth Form or other Post 16 opportunities. We want to do that by reinvigorating school systems and structures to ensure success for all. Exciting developments in teaching and learning practice are at the forefront of an investment in colleagues and students. The successful candidate will be experienced in leading change and helping schools to be efficient whilst never losing sight of our aim to positively influence the development of all of our staff and students.

Initially the role will be centred around developing leadership across the school and the planning and monitoring of actions to meet the school's priorities in this early stage of building on the many successes of the school. By September 2015 it is likely the role will have a specific focus around leading an area of the school's provision.

We would encourage applicants to contact the school and visit us to see the school and meet with the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team. Tours and meetings are available at 8.30am on Wed 24 September 2014 and Thursday 2 October 2014. Please contact the Headteacher's PA, Caryl Rankin on carylrankin@teddingtonschool.org to register for the tour.

Teddington School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Bourne Education Trust CEO: Alex Russell

Headteacher: Paul Grills

Teddington School is a vibrant and academically successful school where we ensure that the educational experience all students receive is first class. We firmly believe that every child is entitled to an excellent education, which offers breadth of curriculum, academic rigour, opportunity, and enables students to leave equipped with the skills to succeed in whichever future pathway they choose.

Four pillars underpin everything that we do at our school and encapsulate the rounded experience we offer to all students.

  • Excellent Education
  • Global Citizens
  • Future Ready
  • Healthy Learners

We have four clear strategic goals which will guide us for the next five years and beyond:

1. Be the ‘go to’ school for the community

2. Be an inclusive place for all

3. Be leaders in the enhanced education experience

4. Be outward facing and highly collaborative

Staff at Teddington maintain the highest standards, have a positive outlook, are inventive in their thinking and adopt a ‘can-do’ approach. We were judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in November 2021 and are looking to the future as we work with the whole community and strive for even greater success. We are committed to identifying, developing and retaining talent amongst our staff with a bespoke CPD package in place for all of our team.

Our school is located on a modern and attractive campus that overlooks the River Thames. Inside our school, you will find a professional working environment with a calm and caring atmosphere based on mutual respect between all stakeholders. We pride ourselves on the fundamental principle that teachers have the right to teach, and students have the right to learn.

We are proud to be part of The Bourne Education Trust (BET) - a successful multi-academy, made up of nineteen schools (plus a further three associate schools), across primary, secondary and special education. BET continues to grow a community of like-minded academies with the highest aspiration and dedication to achieving the best outcomes for their learners. They understand that people are the key to success and for this reason, believe in creating great places to work where people feel supported and encouraged to be the best they can possibly be. Staff within their schools can expect to be challenged and motivated to achieve their ambitions, and such is the scale and scope of the Trust’s school-to-school support work, successful candidates can expect to receive rapid promotion either through direct placement or via secondments from their home school. As part of BET, we also recognise the hard work of our team by our extended holidays and a well-structured school day, which really supports work/life balance and flexibility.
