SECONDARY (Academy)

DEPUTY HEADTEACHER – L16 – L20

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to join an outstanding school in a thriving Trust with exemplary staff development, leadership training and opportunities to work through the Affinity Teaching School with the some of the best in the profession, both within the Trust and with outstanding leaders from our closest partners? This post has become available due to the expansion and need for capacity within the Trust. This is an exciting time to be joining us. The Castle Partnership Trust is seeking to appoint a Pastoral Deputy Headteacher for The Castle School who will lead the pastoral team in personal development and wellbeing, and raising achievement for every child. This is a key strategic role on our school and pastoral work is of the highest value. We will give you opportunities to develop leadership and management, to work with some of the best teachers in the country and to learn leadership from some of the best in the profession. The schools within our Trust are friendly and welcoming and our parents and students are always very appreciative of what staff do for them. Our belief is that every child should Achieve, Belong and Participate, and that staff should be supported to fulfil their potential and aspirations, whatever those might be. We are looking for a new Deputy Head to provide the strategic lead ensuring that every child at The Castle School is cared for and supported, not only during their time here but is able to thrive and succeed beyond the school. The details of the role will be discussed with you so that we strengthen what you are already good at and give you opportunities to develop in preparation for Headship if that is what you wish. The Trust currently comprises two secondary schools and a growing number of primary schools, as well as a successful and thriving Teaching School, the Affinity Teaching School Alliance. We are developing our capacity to expand but are committed to our locality and to providing high quality support to our schools. It is not expansion at any cost. The Castle School is an outstanding school with an enviable reputation in the region. We are significantly oversubscribed, about 600 applications for 240 places every year. We have exceptional enrichment, especially in Sports, Arts and Languages. Our curriculum is incredibly rich, for example, we offer four languages (French, German, Spanish and Mandarin) and children study Music, Art, Drama and Dance at Key Stage 3. There are a huge number of trips and opportunities for both students and staff including foreign exchanges, ski trips, the study trip to China, New York, WW1 Battlefields etc. As a member of staff you are entitled to a place for your child at the school. Pastoral care at The Castle School is exemplary and we invest a lot into this aspect of the school. We are adamant that every child belongs. We have an excellent pastoral team but I feel this should be expanded and we need to be reviewing the way we do things so that we not only continue to give the best care to our children, but we keep it manageable for our pastoral staff. We are looking to develop a Hub for all pastoral staff to work together with the new Deputy Head and support each other, and to work together removing barriers to learning so that every child at The Castle School achieves well, has a sense of belonging and identity, and participates successfully in learning, enrichment and the community. We are looking for candidates with a proven record of impact and success in achieving progress for students as well as strategic vision and commitment. The successful candidates will also have an understanding of the wider role of the school in the community and excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills, capable of leading staff through change that will benefit learners.
