High Green Primary is a small school with a big heart. We are proud of the strong and mutually supportive relationships we have with our families, and the school plays a key role in the life of the local community.

We have a small but well-established team of caring, dedicated and experienced staff who share a commitment to secure the best possible outcomes for each and every one of our children.

Here at High Green, we recognise that education is the development of the whole child, and we aim to support our young people in becoming skilled, fulfilled and confident citizens. We prioritise and value a holistic approach to learning.

Through our broad curriculum we offer a wide range of musical, sporting and residential opportunities to help our children achieve future success. Through imagination and inspiration, challenge and creativity, our children will become the visionaries and innovators of tomorrow.

As a Woodland School we value outdoor learning and active breaks, not only to promote our childrens imagination and creativity but to also support their mental health and wellbeing. We have a range of outdoor spaces, all of which play an integral role in the delivery of our curriculum.

We are looking for a warm, inspirational and enthusiastic Deputy headteacher who will:

 

  • Have the passion and resilience to support all our children in developing the skills and knowledge they need for their successful future.

 

  • Share our commitment to inclusivity; generate innovative solutions to ensure equality of opportunities; and celebrate the contribution of all our children to the school community.

 

  • Support a culture of continued development and high standards in teaching and learning, through coaching, team-teaching and demonstrating excellence.

 

  • Ensure that safeguarding remains high profile across school and support the Safeguarding team through being the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead.

 

  • Support the continued development of our whole school curriculum by leading on the curriculum, including assessment across school, taking accountability for monitoring and supporting all subject leaders.

 

  • Maintain a strong community by promoting good relationships with parents and carers, which are based on mutual respect.

 

  • Recognise and build upon High Greens existing achievements, sharing the schools investment in outdoor learning and environmental sustainability.

 

  • Recognise the positive impact that outdoor learning and active play has on overall well-being and mental health.

 

  • Quickly establish trust, respect and credibility with staff, children and parents alike.

 

  • Have experience across the primary age range and able to demonstrate secure knowledge and understanding of effective teaching and learning.

 

  • A leader in securing good outcomes for pupils across the primary phase.

 

  • Be prepared to take on a teaching role.

 

In return we can offer:

 

  • A genuine commitment to both your continued professional development and personal wellbeing

 

  • The support of a stable, motivated and highly skilled staff team and a dedicated governing body

 

  • The opportunity to work with our wonderful children and families to make a real difference to their lives.

 

We are looking for someone who shares our ethos and is excited about bringing new ideas to our successful and inspirational school. If this sounds like you, please get in touch
