Job overview
The Governing body of Copthall School are seeking to appoint an exceptional new Deputy Headteacher to play an important role in the day to day running of this popular and well established all girls Secondary School and sixth form in North West London.
Copthall offers the rare opportunity of single-sex education for students of all abilities and coupled with Ofsted’s judgment of Copthall being “Good with Outstanding features”, it is not surprising that the school continues to be very oversubscribed.

In addition to deputising for the Headteacher and being a key contributor in the day to day efficient and effective running of the school, you will play a major role in whole school decision making and problem solving.
At Copthall you will see students who love learning and are engaged in a wide range of learning activities inside and outside the classroom, whilst fostering their ambition, qualities and aptitudes to be successful leaders as adults.
As the ideal candidate you will have:
- A proven track record of management and leadership and translating strategy in to effective improvement actions
- The ability to anticipate and innovate, inspire and motivate both students and staff
- A proven ability to collect and analyse complex quantitative and qualitative data
- A proven ability to implement improvement actions with impact
