Deputy Headteacher (Futures)
Full time, permanent contract, commencing Monday 28th April 2025.
We are excited to advertise for one of the first roles in our new restructure as a relatively newly formed Catholic 3-16 school. Our mission statement drives all that we do and our structure has been created to reflect this. This position is one of two Deputy Headteacher posts who will work closely with the Executive Headteacher to lead on curriculum, academic and standards across the school.
We hope that this recruitment pack gives you a good idea of our school, our values and our ambitions for the future. We are located in Merthyr Tydfil, and we serve the local community as well as the Heads of the Valleys region. We have the benefits of a magnificent new school building on the horizon that meets our philosophy and vision of an all-age school.
We are both inclusive and ambitious for all of our students, no matter what their context, and believe that consistency and routines are a powerful way of achieving this. We have high expectations of any student, and our standards across the school reflect our ambitious attitude.
Our school community is founded upon faith, shared values, honesty and mutual respect. Our culture of continuous improvement is driven by transparency, open staff dialogue, and regular student and parent voice. We are a happy and successful school, and one that recognises the transformative nature of education for our local community and wider society. We are absolutely determined to be the equal of the very best schools in the country, and this role is a foundational part of that ambition.
For further information about us please contact us or visit our website.
We look forward to receiving applications from candidates whose personal qualities and values reflect those in the person specification, and whose experiences also place them in a strong position to deliver the challenges set out in the job description. Thank you again for your interest.
