Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
Following the most recent Ofsted Inspection in April 2025, we are seeking to increase leadership capacity within St. Peter’s and appoint a forward-thinking, dynamic, and talented Deputy Headteacher from January 2026 or sooner.
At St. Peter's, you will play an instrumental role in ensuring the school is an environment where both pupils and staff thrive every day. We are looking for outstanding candidates, with a proven track record of leadership, who are eager to develop themselves while supporting the educational vision of both the school and the trust. Your strong leadership and effective support will be crucial in ensuring that everyone at St. Peter's meets their full potential.

This balance ensures you remain connected to the classroom experience, directly influencing teaching standards and pupil outcomes.
This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact and transform lives within our school community. We look forward to hearing from you to further discuss this exciting opportunity!
What the school offers its staff

As part of LAAT, we are able to be part of something bigger beyond Cleethorpes and build on our partnerships with other Trust schools to regularly share expertise so everyone can meet their potential.
Leaders are ensuring that all children and adults are fully supported and challenged to develop as individuals, and we are absolutely committed to being an inclusive school where everyone is valued and respected irrespective of their background.
