The Governors

of Loreto High School Chorlton seek to appoint a highly effective, motivated

and ambitious leader to join our school. Working closely together with the

Headteacher and the other members of the Senior Leadership Team, the Deputy

Headteacher will aim to secure the success and continual improvement of Loreto

High School Chorlton and ensure a high quality, inclusive education for all

students. We are looking to appoint someone who can bring outstanding

leadership qualities and evidence of real and sustained positive impact in

their current role and who is excited to contribute to the next stage of our

journey and will drive forward the Governors’ and Loreto Trust Board’s vision

for the improvement of the school. They will lead the development, implementation

and review of school systems and processes ensuring they are effective in

allowing our students to flourish academically and develop into confident,

articulate, respectful, successful and happy young people. We

are an aspirational, reflective and supportive learning community where all

adults are learners who strive rigorously for excellence in order to achieve

the best possible outcomes for our students and make a real difference in their

lives. Importantly, we recognise that looking after, valuing and empowering

staff is a foundation for our success. This role will

suit an enthusiastic and resilient individual who enjoys working as part of a

team and will provide the opportunity to excel in a supportive environment. The

successful candidate will be self-aware, open to development and believe, like

we do, that ‘feedback is a gift’. They will lead with kindness and warmth, but
