Location
Haringey, Greater London | United Kingdom
Job description
Salary: Inner London Leadership Scale L24 - L30
Start Date: September 2024 (Fixed Term Maternity Cover)
Location: Muswell Hill, North London
Blanche Nevile is a unique provision for Deaf children aged 3-16 situated in the heart of north London and co-located with two excellent mainstream schools. We are a bilingual school where British Sign Language (BSL) is taught and used alongside spoken English.
The current Headteacher will be taking a period of maternity leave and we are therefore looking for an Interim Headteacher from September 2024.
The Headteacher is responsible for both the primary department co-sited with Highgate Primary and the secondary department which shares a site with Fortismere School. The Headteacher is based at Secondary.
The school would particularly welcome applications from candidates who are already BSL users, but the role would also be suited to those willing to learn and immerse themselves with a sign bilingual environment.
The Headteacher is ably supported by a Deputy Headteacher at secondary and a Head of School at primary who will be able to oversee the day to day running of the school sites.
We are currently a ‘Good’ school (Ofsted, 2022) and the governors are looking for candidates with experience of strategic leadership, and related qualifications, to ensure that the school continues to move forwards on its journey of school improvement in the substantive Headteacher’s absence.
This could be an excellent opportunity for a leader looking to increase the breadth of their experience and expertise within special education.
The role is flexible, and the school would be willing to consider full time or part time working.
The Governors value kindness and high standards equally and will be committed to providing the best possible education for the school’s pupils.
For more information about the role, please do contact the current Headteacher on [email protected] who will be happy to discuss the post and host visits.
To apply:
- Complete the application form and return it by email to [email protected] by 12.00 noon on Wednesday 20th March 2024.
- A panel of governors will short list candidates for further assessment and interview based upon the criteria in the person specification, the statement of suitability and the application overall.
- Short-listed candidates will be invited to interview week commencing 25th March.
- References will be requested from referees at this point.
- The interview will further test how well candidates meet the person specification along with the behaviours and values documented in the .
