TONBRIDGE FEDERATION LONG MEAD COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL
 
DEPUTY HEAD OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP SPINE POINT L5 TO L9  
 
Long Mead Community Primary School is a one form entry school with an onsite nursery provision. It has around 170 children on roll. The school is part of a Federation (with a nearby Secondary School) with a single Governing body and Executive Headteacher who has strategic oversight of both schools.
 
The Governors are seeking to appoint a talented and dynamic Deputy Head of School from September 2019. You will also work closely with the Head of School to develop an exciting, happy, successful and creative school. 
 
This would be an excellent opportunity for an ambitious teacher to develop excellent skills for further career development.
 
Continuing to teach part time is an important aspect for all the school leaders within the Federation. The ability to teach a class at Key Stage 2 will be a significant advantage.
 
Long Mead Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share that commitment.  The successful candidate will be required to undergo a number of pre-employment checks including a DBS check.
