Deputy Headteacher

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.
