Due to the promotion of the current post holder to our Headteacher, there is a unique opportunity for an experienced leader to become part of the forward-thinking and committed leadership team of Claremont Primary School which is a National Support School and Teaching School.

The highly skilled, enthusiastic and innovative postholder will be joining a brand new senior leadership team- a new Headteacher, School Business Manager and newly appointed assistant headteacher. This exciting opportunity means that roles will be defined as a collective to ensure all strengths are maximised in the best interests of the school. The postholder will be joining an incredible team of children, teachers, support and admin staff and an active governing body.

We are seeking someone who has significant whole school responsibilities and experience in their current school and has a clear understanding of the primary curriculum and assessment. The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher who can think and plan strategically and innovatively and is an outstanding role model for colleagues.

We are always developing our Teaching School and are aiming to expand our training opportunities and facilities. Therefore, the postholder will have opportunities to deliver training and support as part of the Teaching School and Altius Teaching School Alliance. In addition, as the Deputy Headteacher of a National Support School there will be opportunities to support other schools that are in challenging circumstances and to be responsible for Claremont Primary in the headteacher's absence.

Potential applicants are welcome to visit the school prior to application. Please contact the school office for dates and times. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our vision. Please see our website for further information about the school.
