This is an exciting and new opportunity to join the school as a second Deputy Headteacher and QEGSMAT to ensure the quality of education provided and experienced by all students, regardless of their starting point, is the best it can possibly be. You will lead the school to build a culture rich in aspiration, kindness, and inclusion, whilst providing high levels of academic and vocational challenge and pastoral support for all.
