Full Time - Leadership Pay Scale 19 - 23 on the London Fringe 

Required from: April (ideally), June or September 2026 

The Hemel Hempstead School, a successful and popular school which has served this community for over ninety years, is seeking a Deputy Head Teacher 

This school has in that time continually nurtured young people who achieve enormous success and go on to the very best universities, apprenticeships, careers, and adventures.  This journey is possible because, working in partnership: as carers, parents, children and teachers, we strive for nothing short of excellence for all our students. 

We help them to forge a future in which they are the leaders of society, young people who can ‘be, not just seem to be’ because they are formed on a foundation of our Values of Respect, Relationships, Responsibility, Reflection and Resilience.  This is what our motto Esse Quam Videri means to us and what we, as a school community, live by every day. 

We are seeking to appoint one, or two, deputy headteachers, following the retirement of the previous post holder, and in response to our expanding school and increased offer to the local community. 

The successful candidate(s) will lead within the school on either pastoral or academic matters and both aspects will be fully explored and tested in the interview process. 

The pack contains lots of information about the school, and we would also encourage you to explore ourwebsite and follow us on Instagram.   

Applications should be sent to: HR@scholarseducationtrust.co.uk CVs will not be accepted.
