Deputy Headteacher

Join a High-Performing, Ambitious, and Inspiring Leadership Team

Chiswick School is a thriving and oversubscribed secondary school in West London, consistently delivering academic outcomes that exceed national expectations. Following our Ofsted inspection in January 2025, inspectors recognised significant improvement in all areas since their last visit in 2020. They were so impressed that they will be returning for a full graded inspection, within 18 months, allowing us to showcase our continued progress and excellence.

This is an exciting time to join our highly cohesive and driven Senior Leadership Team as we build on our strengths and strive for further success. We are seeking an ambitious, talented, and ideally already established Deputy Headteacher who is looking to prepare for headship.

• Be committed to excellence, inclusivity, and student success.

Why join our team:

• Work with a talented and driven team of senior and middle leaders, teachers, and support staff.
• Make a genuine impact on students' lives in a school that puts them at the heart of everything we do.
• Take on a deputy leadership role with tailored responsibilities, aligned to your expertise and professional growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a school on an exciting trajectory of success. If you are passionate about making a difference and ready to take on a leadership role with real impact, we would love to hear from you.
