Are you an aspirational school leader, looking for a deputy
headship in a forward thinking and creative school?
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and
aspirational leader to join our team in the role of Deputy Headteacher. The
successful candidate will work closely with governors and the headteacher to
secure the strategic direction of the school, support the day-to-day
operational matters, while leading on the pastoral provision across the school.
St John’s is an inclusive and welcoming school,
with a strong community ethos, underpinned by our vision that all children and
adults at our school will flourish. Our relationships, daily interactions and
the decisions we make are rooted in our shared values.
We believe that the ‘special feel’ at St John’s is a result of
the caring atmosphere that pervades the school and the responsibility that all
members of our school community take to be the best we can be and the way we
inspire each other.
In 2020 the school was judged ‘outstanding’ by
Ofsted in all areas, a judgement that was maintained in our most recent
inspection in May 2025. Ofsted noted:
‘This friendly and vibrant school fosters a
love of learning, creating an inspiring environment for pupils.’
All candidates are strongly encouraged to visit the school to
meet the children and staff. Our application pack provides full details of this
position, including the job description and person specification. If you would
