Deputy Headteacher ****JANUARY 2025****

St Monica’s Catholic Primary School is situated in north-east Milton Keynes. We are a two form entry Primary School and an intrinsic part of the local Catholic community. Our school is friendly, welcoming, inclusive and committed to the development of all the children in our care. It was judged to be Good by Ofsted at its last inspection.

The governing body wish to appoint a new Deputy Headteacher. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for the right person.

Our school is about so much more than just results. We want children to do their best in all that they do and everything we do is underpinned by our Catholic faith. We work in partnership with parents and the parishes to provide opportunities to develop the spirituality of our children. Our mission Statement, ‘Let Trust, Respect and Love live here,’ is at the heart of our Catholic ethos which permeates all areas of school life.

The Governors wish to appoint a Deputy Headteacher committed to this ethos and who will be part of the leadership team which will lead and develop the school based on this mission.

• a highly effective teacher and leader of learning, with experience of delivering a broad, rich and varied curriculum that meets the needs of every pupil
• a genuine commitment to team working and the development of all of our staff

We can offer the successful candidate:

• Children who are committed, enthusiastic and fully engaged in their learning.
• Professional and dedicated staff and active Governors.
• Excellent opportunities for further professional development.
