Hours: Full time 

Salary: Leadership Scale L12 – L16

Contract: Permanent

Start: January 2026

At Crownfield Junior, we believe in working as a team for the children that we are responsible for and care for. We believe that our children are at the centre of all we do, encouraging and supporting them to be the best that they can be. We treat the children as individuals and understand that their needs are unique to them. 

We are looking for someone new, someone like-minded, to join our well-motivated, happy team as a Deputy Head teacher. Successful applicants must already have current experience of a School Leadership role and be able to support the vision and strategic focus to enhance the education of all pupils in the school and across the federation.

We are extremely proud of our school and the broad curriculum we offer. We are a four-form entry and partners with the Mawney Foundation School as the Learning and Achieving Federation, through which we exchange good practice and resources to continue our journeys forward.

Our Ofsted Report in July 2023 stated:

‘Pupils at this school are kind, polite and hard-working. In lessons they listen to their teachers and to each other.' ‘Pupils with SEND are quickly identified and are very well supported to study the same broad curriculum as their classmates. Teachers and leaders work together to identify strategies that best meet these pupils’ needs.’ 'Safeguarding is prioritised and leaders are tenacious in securing support for the most vulnerable pupils.’ ‘Staff feel well-supported by leaders.’

We would like to appoint an enthusiastic, organised person who:

• Is an exceptional classroom practitioner, with experience across the primary age range, able to role-model all aspects of outstanding classroom practice.
• Is a dynamic and creative practitioner with high expectations and a proven record of raising attainment.
• Has a clear understanding of what constitutes excellent teaching and learning, and the ability to lead staff in these areas.
• Has the ability to lead the analysis of performance data.
• Is creative and innovative, with the ability to effectively support and motivate others.
• Has the proven ability to lead a curriculum area, improving teaching and learning, and raising standards and attainment across the school.
• Has strong organisational and interpersonal skills.
• Is passionate about developing community links and learning opportunities for all.
• Shows a commitment to extending their leadership experience.

Please refer to the job profile and person specification.

We are lucky to be set in beautiful grounds. Our children are great to work with: polite, enthusiastic, hard working with a sense of fun!  We have a very supportive staff who work together for the good of the children – they have a sense of humour too! 

I am available to contact at any time during the day or you can come and have a look around.  Please phone our reception on 01708 747070. You may also wish to look at our website for further information.
