About the role

There is no other school like ours. As the country’s first primary school to grow from the recommendations of the Cambridge Primary Review, we were built from the ground up around a single question: what is best for this child? We offer a genuinely rare kind of leadership opportunity — and we are looking for an exceptional Deputy Headteacher to help shape it.

As a key member of our Senior Leadership Team, you will work closely with the Headteacher and our Senior Leadership team to raise standards, safeguard our children, and hold the whole team to the highest professional expectations.

We are a large, three-form entry Free School, founded on three principles: inclusion, ambition and innovation. We are known nationally and internationally for our work in areas such as Oracy and Professional Development.
