Senior Deputy Headteacher

About the school:

Notley has been on a deliberate improvement journey since 2024 — 100% subject specialist staffing, curriculum redesign, a new school identity, and a culture built around belonging and achievement. There is real work still to do, and we want a leader who is energised by that, not deterred.

Who we’re looking for:

You are probably already a deputy headteacher with proven impact. You lead confidently, think strategically, and are ready for more responsibility than your current role offers. NPQH underway or completed is a strong advantage. Experience in behaviour and culture, attendance improvement, or pastoral leadership is particularly relevant.

What you will gain:

Direct mentorship from a Headteacher and Trust Executive Leader. Exposure to trust-wide school improvement across four schools. A role that makes headship applications genuinely compelling. And a school community that will know your name.
