Deputy Headteacher

About the role.

At Harborne Primary School the phrase 'Happy Pupils Succeed' embodies our philosophy. We see ourselves as a learning community where everyone works together on behalf of the children to maintain a happy and caring ethos in which children can achieve high standards and be successful learners.

Harborne Primary School was established in 2000 after the amalgamation of the Infant and Junior Schools, both of which had been at Station Road for 100 years. It is a four form entry Primary School, with two sites. The school expanded in 2019 to include the Annex, located on the Court Oak Road approximately a mile away from the Station Road site.

Our children come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). Many will also have other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) such as Autism, ADHD, and communication difficulties.

The work we do is both varied and challenging, all staff are provided with extensive training and support. Our closely triangulated approach places the child at the centre of decision making, ensuring that education and therapy professionals, parent/carers, local authority teams and most importantly our pupils can work together to secure outstanding outcomes for all.

The role.

Harborne Primary School is looking for an outstanding leader who embodies the school vision and can live out our ethos throughout their daily practice. Our school will ensure that the Deputy Head Teacher will be well supported, allowing them to focus on what is important and develop professionally.

There will be a teaching element within this role.
