What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for a Deputy Headteacher. This is an exciting opportunity to join Blaise High School and become an integral member of the Senior Leadership team.
The leaders of our school are driven by the same moral purpose as every adult in the building. We are committed to eradicating educational disadvantage in this community. We work collaboratively as a group to ensure no stone is unturned in providing the highest quality education for those children who need it the most. We place vulnerable groups front and centre in our thinking, and always ask ourselves if our school is working for those children and families. We are precise in our planning and thinking, Deputy Heads meet at 7:30 each day and the rest of SLT join at 7:45 to ensure the day runs smoothly. We are fiercely committed to ‘Always Learning’ and are always looking for ways to improve what we do without adding workload to staff. We support one another, we build a sense of fun and togetherness into our work because we know how challenging it can be and we keep the main thing, the main thing; 100% of students are in lessons thinking hard about the right thing in every minute of every lesson.
Greenshaw Learning Trust is a highly successful multi academy trust that provides excellent quality, comprehensive and inclusive education through primary schools and secondary schools. Our schools are based in London, Surrey, Berkshire, Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire, Bristol and Plymouth. We also have three shared service hubs where our central teams can be based out of. We are building a family of like-minded schools, that collaborate to provide mutual support, share their good practice and learn from each other, whilst retaining and developing their own distinctive character. We thrive from collaboration at every level. We encourage a culture of sharing ideas and learning from one another. As a Trust of schools, we are ‘Always Learning’.
