INTERIM DEPUTY HEADTEACHER | Medway, Kent | September - December
Are you ready to make your mark as a Deputy Headteacher in a school where Christian values, community spirit and academic ambition go hand in hand?
Academics is proud to be supporting a well-regarded Church of England primary school with nursery provision in Medway, Kent, in their search for an inspiring interim Deputy Headteacher to join their dedicated leadership team from September to December.
This is a large primary school, with a strong sense of community and identity at its heart. With outcomes consistently above national averages across EYFS, phonics and KS2, and a strong record of pastoral care.
As Deputy Headteacher, you'll work closely with the Headteacher to lead teaching and learning, drive whole-school improvement, and act as one of the school's Designated Safeguarding Leads. You won't hold a designated class, but you'll be a visible, hands-on presence - teaching when needed, coaching colleagues, and championing an inclusive, "can do" culture where every child can flourish.
This role would suit an experienced Deputy Headteacher looking to build on their leadership track record, or a strong senior leader ready to step up and make a genuine difference in a warm, ambitious and highly regarded school community.
What we're looking for:
Qualified Teacher Status and substantial primary teaching experience
Proven senior leadership and line management experience
A track record of leading whole-school improvement in teaching and learning
Strong safeguarding knowledge, ideally with DSL experience
A genuine commitment to the Christian ethos and values of a Church of England schoolPay: Dependent on experience Contract: Interim, September to December Location: Medway, Kent
