About the role

West Green Primary School is a successful and popular one form entry

primary school with a specialist Speech and Language Resource Base in the

London Borough of Haringey, with an excellent reputation in the local

area.

Due to our current Headteacher moving on, our current Deputy of ten

years, Jenny Murphy, will be taking on the role from September 2026. This creates

an exciting opportunity for someone to join this already successful staff team

and support leading the school towards its next chapter of excellence.

We are looking for an exceptional, committed Deputy Headteacher with a

proven record of educational leadership, at least at Assistant Head level or

equivalent, to support our school in achieving our vision - that our children

achieve their best, academically and personally, no matter what. Our

recent Ofsted report (Feb 2026) identified our many strengths and we are looking

to continue to secure the school’s high standards and inclusive practice.

Moreover, as West Green’s identity is strong, our new Deputy must share our

cultural ethos and values which sit at the heart of everything we do.

Our future Deputy Head will be an excellent teacher, have strong

leadership skills and be able to manage the demands of an inner-city one form

entry primary school.In support, the school offers a strong, motivated

and dedicated team of teaching and support staff, committed to ensuring high

achievement and equity of opportunity for all.
