Stowlawn Primary School is a welcoming, vibrant and inclusive community school in the Bilston area of Wolverhampton and our community is at the heart of everything we do. We are in the process of growing from a 1 form to 2 form entry school and are lucky enough to have benefitted from a substantial investment which means our children learn in a fantastic, new spacious building. We are proud of our school and our increasingly multi‑cultural and diverse community is highly valued by our families and staff.

Due to the retirement of our current Deputy Headteacher, the Governors wish to appoint a practitioner with a proven track record of excellent classroom practice for this non - class based role.  We are seeking someone who is child centred and will support our school values; an ambitious and energetic professional with experience of leading teams, monitoring teaching and learning, and with experience of successfully leading improvement and raising standards.

If you are a dynamic and inspirational leader with the capacity to grow and develop in the role, with initiative, enthusiasm, a thorough knowledge of all key stages together with experience in at least 2 phases/stages and the ambition to play a major role in the leadership and management of our school then we would love to hear from you. 

In return, we can offer you:

• a ‘Good ‘School (Ofsted November 2017) with the ambition to become outstanding
• a unique opportunity to support in shaping a growing school
• a talented team of teachers and support staff who share the same passion for ensuring that every child achieves their potential at school and beyond
• an effective and experienced Governing Board which provides key support and challenge
• enthusiastic, happy and eager children who love school
