Deputy Head Teacher - Alderman Bolton Primary School The Role

Alderman Bolton Primary School is seeking to appoint an ambitious, compassionate and motivated Deputy Headteacher to join our senior leadership team.

This is a full time, permanent position, paid on the Leadership Scale L6-L10, working alongside the Headteacher to provide strong, professional leadership and to help drive continuous school improvement.

The Deputy Headteacher will play a key role in the strategic and operational leadership of the school. Working closely with the Headteacher and governing body, the post holder will help set and realise the school's vision, promote a calm and purposeful learning environment, and maintain high standards of teaching, learning and behaviour. The role includes leading and developing teaching and learning, supporting staff through coaching and professional development, driving effective assessment and use of data, and championing inclusive practice, particularly for pupils with SEND and SEMH needs. The Deputy Headteacher will deputise for the Headteacher when required and act as a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead.

The post is suitable for an experienced and successful leader with Qualified Teacher Status and proven leadership experience within a primary school setting. The successful candidate will have experience of working across at least two key stages, a strong understanding of the National Curriculum, assessment and school improvement, and a track record of raising standards. They will demonstrate high expectations for pupils and staff, strong behaviour leadership, excellent communication and organisational skills, and the ability to inspire, motivate and hold others to account. A professional leadership qualification is essential, and further NPQ qualifications are desirable.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a warm, supportive and inclusive school community where leadership is valued and professional development is actively encouraged through a coaching led approach. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make a real impact on the lives of children, staff and the wider school community, while developing their own leadership practice within a forward thinking team.

Alderman Bolton Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and all appointments will be subject to appropriate safeguarding and pre employment checks.
