The Governing Board of St George’s Church of England Primary school is seeking to recruit an ambitious Deputy Head teacher for September 2020 to work alongside the school’s Executive Headteacher.

We have worked incredibly hard to create a working environment where you will be expected to deliver on a daily basis for our young people but also an environment where it can be done with a smile on your face.
