Salary: L19 to L23 (Fringe) (£70,245 to £77,344 FTE)
Start date: September 2023
We are looking to appoint an inspirational Deputy Headteacher at Esher Church of England High School. This is an exciting time to be joining the School and the Trust. This post offers an outstanding opportunity to be part of a highly cohesive senior leadership team, giving the successful candidate the chance to lead the school’s culture and inclusion. This post is for candidates who might currently be a Deputy Headteacher looking for your next move or an experienced Assistant Headteacher; what matters most is you bring a clear vision of what a truly exceptional comprehensive school looks like, and you have the drive and ambition to make that a reality.
The right candidate will bring experience leading in a pastoral role, having had significant impact on the culture and climate of their school. This is a new post, adding to the structure to provide strategic leadership of the areas of behaviour and attitudes, safeguarding (including e-safety), personal development, attendance, rewards and house systems.
You will be an inspiring leader, with a natural flair for challenging and empowering others to continuously improve and strive for excellence. This will be supported by an expert knowledge of behaviour and attitudes, personal development and student wellbeing.
You will have the opportunity to work with a talented team of senior leaders, middle leaders and a strong central trust team, all working together to create an environment where every member of the school community can flourish.
If you share the School and Trust’s vision based on the unshakeable belief that children learn through all aspects of their daily lives and that their values and knowledge, experiences and habits are as important as their academic qualifications, we would be delighted to hear from you. For further details regarding this role and how to apply please refer to the recruitment pack.
Informal meeting and tour of the school encouraged. Please refer to the recruitment pack.
