NON CYC VACANCY SCHOOL VACANCY At Archbishop Holgate’s School, we are committed to ensuring that every student – regardless of background or circumstance – can thrive within a culture of high expectations, care, and achievement. This Deputy Headteacher role offers a unique opportunity to shape and drive an ambitious, evidence-informed inclusion strategy, championing the success and wellbeing of our most vulnerable students.
Working closely with the Headteacher and Trust colleagues, the successful candidate will provide strategic leadership of the whole school approach to inclusion, ensuring it is embedded across all aspects of school life and that no student is left behind. This will involve support and care for vulnerable students as well as all aspects of student attendance, parental engagement and safeguarding. In addition, the role will include the strategic oversight of those responsible for SEND.
We believe that Archbishop Holgate’s is ‘no ordinary school’ and is an excellent place to work, a view confirmed by Ofsted in our most recent inspection, “Staff are incredibly proud to work here.”
Our staff are friendly and supportive and our students are polite, hardworking and keen to succeed. As such, this post represents an exciting opportunity to join a very successful, high-achieving, forward looking and fully-subscribed Church of England comprehensive, a school judged Outstanding in all areas by both Ofsted and SIAMS.
Successful candidates will be fully supported to develop in the role, benefiting from bespoke CPD opportunities both at Archbishop’s and as part of the Pathfinder Teaching School Hub. In addition, colleagues will benefit from being part of the Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust Career Pathway Programme, and through working with colleagues across other Trust schools, develop skills and share innovative teaching and learning practices.
Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust is an equal opportunities employer, committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Enhanced DBS check required. As part of our due diligence process, an online search will be conducted on all shortlisted candidates. These checks are carried out in accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance to determine suitability to work with children and young people and keep them safe.
