Job Description
About the role:
Moulsham High School is a larger than average 11-18 comprehensive school where all students 'flourish academically' (Ofsted 2024). The learning environment is 'cordial' (Ofsted 2024), and students and staff enjoy a high level of mutual respect.
We are looking for a dedicated Deputy Headteacher who is passionate about providing all students with the best possible life chances they can have. The successful candidate will have a minimum of 3 years senior leadership experience and a substantial track record of academic success. Our Progress 8 has been well above the national average for the last 8 years. In 2024, it was in the top 9% of all schools nationally. A-level results consistently score ALPS 3 or higher. This role is pivotal to the school's continued success and includes responsibility for curriculum provision; the quality of teaching, learning and assessment; academic outcomes; and quality assurance.
This vacancy has arisen because the current postholder is taking up a new leadership challenge in Cambridgeshire in September 2025 and is a fantastic platform for Headship. The successful candidate will join a senior leadership team of 9, all committed to driving the school forward to 'beyond outstanding.' We firmly believe that the best is yet to come.
Visits to the school prior to application are strongly encouraged and can be arranged using the contact details below.
