Headteacher: Mrs H Durrant
Deputy Headteacher
Salary: L11-L15 (Inc Outer London Weighting)
Hours: Full Time
Contract: Permanent
Start Date: September 2024
The school is in a unique position as the current Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher have both secured positions in different schools following seven years in their posts and the successful Ofsted of June 2023. Therefore, it is a time of change for Oglethorpe as the newly appointed Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher will be starting together in September 2024 supported by the Governing Body, senior and middle leaders and staff. The school has a solid foundation for the new leaders to take them onwards on their journey to Outstanding.
Interviews for the new Headteacher will be taking place on Monday 25th March 2024 and hopefully they will be part of the interview process to select the school’s new Deputy Headteacher, as the two will naturally have to work very closely together.
Tours around the school are essential and the current Headteacher will be happy to show any prospective candidates around and talk to them about the school.
Please contact the school office on 01708 225202 or email office@jamesoglethorpe.havering.sch.uk to arrange a time to visit.
Please apply online.
