Deputy Headteacher (Quality of Education)

Due to the increasing number of

children permanently excluded from mainstream schools, the Sheffield Inclusion

Centre is expanding. At present we have a large site at Spring Lane as well as

8 smaller sites/bases across the city to meet local need – we intend to expand

extensively the number of bases into areas we do not serve at the moment. These

sites are smaller with approximately 15 children, many of whom have experienced

trauma or/and have had unmet SEND needs.

The new bases will be very different in nature and

specialisms include -

SEND

(20% of our school have EHCPs) ESOL

(working mainly with our Roma/Slovakian children) general

wraparound bases working with children who need support from a variety of

agencies reintegration

– enabling more of our pupils to return to a mainstream school

At the Sheffield Inclusion Centre, we support and

develop the careers of the right people who bring high expectations and care for

our children.

We are looking

for a passionate and enthusiastic Deputy Headteacher to support our expansion

plans and lead Education across the school. We are seeking a professional who is in role

as Deputy or Assistant Headteacher who will be able to continue driving up

standards towards exceptional. We want

to add capacity to our team by recruiting an inspirational, proven school

leader who has at their heart, the strong desire to equip our children with the

skills and knowledge to live safe, fulfilled and successful lives. You should

be an emotionally intelligent, strategic leader who likes to be visible in

school and leads by example. Many of our pupils also have underlying

Special Educational Needs, and an understanding of some of the key features

will be beneficial. We are looking for someone who is adaptable and enjoys the

daily excitement of working in a challenging environment. No two days are the

same. You will need to be a good team

player, but confident to work on your own initiative.
