Our Deputy Headteacher post is unique because it will provide the successful candidate with the privilege and role of being the most senior member of staff on site most of the time. Therefore, it is perfect both for those that are seeking a deputy headship prior to headship and those that wish to be a very influential deputy headteacher without having the final responsibility of being the headteacher.
We are very excited about this next step for our school. We are seeking to appoint someone who will play a pivotal role in enabling us to achieve our vision of every child making great progress and thus attaining well in all areas of their development.
This role comes with the support of being part of a senior leadership team of three people and the delight of being part of a village primary school. In addition to the Deputy Headteacher we are seeking to appoint, the senior leadership team of our school is the headteacher, who is also the headteacher of St Osyth Church of England Primary School, and the deputy headteacher of St Osyth Church of England Primary School.
We encourage all those interested in this post to come and see our children, find out more about this exciting leadership role and maybe even have some cake or chocolate. To arrange a visit please contact the Headteacher Designate, Mark Carter-Tufnell, on 01255 820823 or via email, head@st-osyth.essex.sch.uk.
Information about the School
Stourview CofE Primary Academy is an exciting and forward-thinking primary school located in Mistley, Essex.
Formerly known as Mistley Norman, we are undergoing a significant transformation as part of the government's School Rebuilding Programme. While our state-of-the-art new building is under construction, our pupils are thriving in a modern modular facility that ensures continuity and quality in their education.
As part of our evolution, we recently joined Canonium Learning Trust, a dynamic and supportive education trust specialising in small, rural, and village schools across North and Mid Essex. This partnership strengthens our commitment to delivering exceptional education while fostering collaboration and professional development for our staff.
As a proud Church of England school, guided by the vision to educate for "life in all its fullness" (John 10:10), our school places equal importance on spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, moral, and social development. We aim to nurture knowledgeable, thoughtful, and articulate individuals equipped with the values and cultural capital to succeed in an ever-evolving world.
At Stourview, we are proud of our inclusive and welcoming community, underpinned by our core Christian values of respect, compassion, honesty, perseverance, and responsibility. Our ambitious vision, coupled with the support of Canonium Learning Trust, marks the start of an exciting new era for our school, staff, and pupils.
Joining our team means being part of a supportive, collaborative environment where you can help shape the future of our school and inspire the next generation.
