Deputy Head Teacher (Inclusion and Belonging)

We are looking for a strong and enthusiastic leader who will help us drive improvements for pupils across all groups within our wonderful, vibrant and diverse school with 270 pupils on roll. A passion for SEND and inclusion is essential for this post and a knowledge and understanding of supporting pupils for whom English is an additional language is highly desirable. At St George's we want the needs of every pupil to be met to the best of our ability and in a timely and supportive way. Everyone is welcome here and everyone belongs and we want this message to be clear from the moment a new pupil walks in and beyond the day that they move on. At St George's 75% of our pupils have English is an additional language, we have a very high level of mobility and 30% of our children are on our SEND register. This is a key leadership position within the school and as such it is a non-class based leadership role- offering the successful candidate the opportunity to focus fully on strategic and operational inclusion provision across the school. The post holder will work closely with the Head Teacher, be a part of the whole school leadership team and be supported by a highly capable and brilliant Pastoral Manager.
