Someone who understands that a truly great school is built on belonging, high expectations, and unwavering belief in the potential of every child. This role is a deliberate bridge to future headship, offering whole-school leadership, trust-wide development, and the scope to shape systems that endure. Why this role matters Our community is richly diverse with a large SEND base; we are proud of our inclusive culture where needs are met with expertise, warmth, and ambition. We're trauma-informed by design and restorative in practice, prioritising relationships, teaching behaviour, and creating the conditions for growth, and learning. Most importantly, these elements are all underpinned by high expectations. As staff, we have high expectations of our students, and we ask our students to have high expectations of us. We want a Deputy Principal who can drive these principles forward, not as initiatives, but as the backbone of how we lead, teach, and support. The work you'll lead Culture & standards: set, promote, and expect high standards across the board; behaviour, attendance, safeguarding, and professional conduct. We want students and staff know what excellence looks like and how to achieve it. Inclusion & SEND: lead a high quality, evidence based provision across our large SEND base; securing ambitious pathways, providing adaptive teaching, and ensuring robust progress monitoring for all learners. Trauma informed, restorative practice: embed approaches that teach regulation and repairing relationships to keep students learning. Teaching, learning & curriculum: work closely with the Teaching and Learning Deputy Principal to shape interventions for students who need them, based on their specific requirements. People & professional growth: coach staff, from ECTs to middle leaders, to thrive. Build capacity through feedback, deliberate practices, and leadership development coaching that readies colleagues for broader responsibility. Operational excellence: use data intelligently to diagnose, plan, and evaluate impact. Community & Trust collaboration: contribute to Trust wide networks, leverage shared expertise, and strengthen family partnerships.

Improved outcomes for students with SEND, evidenced in progress, attendance, and engagement. Reduced exclusions and improved readiness to learn through embedded restorative practice.
