Deptford Park Primary School · London, London
Thank you for your interest in the role of Deputy Headteacher at Deptford
Park Primary School. At the heart of our school is a deep belief that children
flourish when they feel known, safe and valued. Relationships and kindness
underpin everything we do – in our classrooms, among our staff, with families
and across our wider community.
Deptford Park is a school where every child is truly known, where
families are warmly welcomed, and where staff work collaboratively to support
one another. We believe that when children and staff feel respected and cared
for, they are empowered to do their very best.
This is an exciting time for Deptford Park with a new Headteacher
appointed in September 2025, and a 40-place Unit for children with Severe
Learning Difficulties opening in June 2026. We are seeking a Deputy Headteacher
who is enthusiastic about helping to shape the school’s next chapter,
strengthening what works well, playing a key role in our ongoing development,
and looking ahead with ambition and optimism.
As Deputy Headteacher, you will be central to nurturing positive
relationships, modelling compassionate and inclusive leadership, and supporting
every child and adult in our school to thrive. We warmly welcome applicants who
share our commitment to relational leadership, teamwork, and a school culture
where everyone feels they belong.
If you are a leader who acts with kindness, believes wholeheartedly in
the potential of every child and adult, and is excited by the opportunity to
build something special together, we would be delighted to hear from you.
