Deputy Headteacher

Our schools are based in Hackney, East London with convenient transport links to wider London. We have been in partnership since January 2012 and are a hard federation with a joint Governing Body. We have a joint pupil roll of over 1350 pupils and all three schools are graded 'good' or 'outstanding' by Ofsted.

Our pupils achieve well above national averages despite all three schools being in areas of challenge. We have a very skilled team of highly committed and professional teachers and leaders who work incredibly hard. However, there is always much to do. We look to create exciting and innovative opportunities for children to be successful and enjoy learning and also look to share ideas of best practise with other schools. We have very high standards for what can be achieved with the benefits of shared expertise and support.

We are seeking a new Deputy Headteacher to build capacity and offer new expertise to our senior leadership team. First and foremost we are looking for someone who is confident, knowledgeable and who has the passion, energy and skill to make a difference. This post will be based on one school site with responsibility for teaching, learning, standards, assessment and inclusion in either the Lower School (EYFS and KS1) or Upper School (KS2).

There are many opportunities to work with staff across the partnership. We take our role in raising the aspirations of our children and meeting the ambitions of our staff very seriously and can offer coaching, mentoring and support to ensure your success.

If you are hardworking and looking to take the next step to further develop your leadership potential then we would very much look forward to hearing from you.

• You get a genuine opportunity to lead and make a difference.
• You receive high-quality CPD and support from our experienced leadership team including coaching and mentoring to enable you to be successful.
• We offer an exciting, well organised and vibrant environment in which to work.
• We have happy schools with a fantastic community of parents and children who deserve the best.
• You gain opportunities to work with our partner schools and partner Deputy Headteachers.

• Is confident and an inspiring teacher with high expectations of what can be achieved.
• Understands how children learn best and never gives up on them.
• Is flexible with a good sense of humor and an understanding of the bigger picture.
• Can effectively coach, mentor and work alongside others.
