You are an experienced senior leader with a proven track record in raising standards and leading inclusive practices. You do not need to know BSL to apply, but you must share our passion for deaf education and demonstrate a firm commitment to learning BSL.
Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusive Recruitment
James Wolfe is a proud, highly diverse community school, and we want our staff team to reflect the rich diversity of the pupils and families we serve.
