Shape the Soul of a New School: Deputy Head Teacher Required

Bristol | A New Vision for Secondary Education

The Mission

Are you a visionary educator who believes that every child deserves a world-class education, regardless of their starting point?

We aren't just building a school; we are building a community. Having opened our doors in 2023, we are in a unique "growth phase," expanding year-on-year toward a vibrant community of 900 students. We are looking for a Deputy Principal who sees the potential in every corridor and the spark in every student.

As part of a trust that champions Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community, you'll find a workspace where morale is high, well-being is a genuine priority, and your voice actually moves the needle.

How You'll Make an Impact

As a vital partner to our Principal, you won't just manage systems-you will nurture a culture. Your focus will be on:

• Transformational Leadership: Driving meaningful change that uplifts not just our students, but the entire Bristol community.

• Inclusive Curriculum: Crafting a learning journey that reflects our students' diverse lives and fuels their highest aspirations.

• Holistic Pupil Care: Designing a sanctuary of support where every child feels seen, safe, and empowered to succeed.

• Nurturing Talent: Mentoring the next generation of educators, ensuring our Early Career Teachers (ECTs) feel inspired and supported.

• The Safety Net: Leading as our Designated Safeguarding Lead, ensuring our school remains a haven of safety.

Who You Are

We are looking for a "Champion of Character." Our 9 Habits-including compassion, hope, and patience-aren't just posters on the wall; they are how we live.

• The Heart: A Qualified Teacher with a deep-seated belief in inclusive, comprehensive education.

• The Experience: You've led at a senior level and have the stories (and the data) to show how you've helped students soar.

• The Insight: You understand the "why" behind educational policy and can translate it into "how" for our classrooms.

• The Communicator: You speak with clarity, empathy, and fluently in English (to meet Immigration Act requirements).

Why Join Our Family?

"We don't just offer a job; we offer a path to legacy."

• Growth with Soul: Access to NPQs and coaching, with a clear three-to-five-year roadmap to your first Principalship.

• Collective Wisdom: Join a national network of experts who share your passion for social mobility.

• A New Home: Be part of the transition into a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility designed for 21st-century learning.
