About This Role

We are looking to appoint a Deputy Headteacher to restore capacity to our Senior Leadership Team, following the promotion of two previous postholders to Headship. We are considering applications for both pastoral and academic leaders who can add strength and quality to an established and effective leadership team which has delivered significant school improvement in the last two years. If you are a strong leader with a proven track record of raising standards at the highest levels, we want to hear from you. The current leadership team has expertise in a variety of different areas of school improvement, so we are able to choose the right candidate for our school, with roles and responsibilities distributed with the existing Deputy upon appointment.

More than anything, we are looking for someone who can add value to our school, and bring ideas and experiences that will further build on our improvements. Innovative thinking, evidence of leading pragmatic but effective initiatives and a strong set of ethics related to supporting the students who need it most will make you a strong candidate for appointment. You should have the desire to make a difference in a local community and be committed to putting down roots for long-term success. Equally, with a Deputy Headteacher role, you will have the knowledge and experience to be able to deputise for the Headteacher in his absence, leading our school community when needed.

Aldersley, founding school of the Amethyst Trust, is a successful, welcoming and diverse school on a journey to success, with great ambition at the heart of everything that we do. Your hard work can make a real difference in our community, so all true difference-makers should get in touch.

Tours of the school are highly encouraged and will be available on the below dates:

Thursday 16th April

Tuesday 21st April

Thursday 23rd April

Please contact Claire Hammond at chammond@aatrust.co.uk to arrange a tour with your preferred date.
