2 weeks ago

Wimborne, United Kingdom Dorset Council Full time

**About The Role**:
After the Head, the Deputy Head position is the most senior leader in the Castle Court Community and acts as ‘the final stop’ before the Head on all matters relating to the educational provision at Castle Court. The role has many facets including leadership, safeguarding, pastoral, academic, operational and strategic. The Deputy Head should be a visible presence around the school for both staff and pupils, as well as being outwardly parent facing.

The Deputy Head is responsible for all areas of school life, specifically the Co-curricular programme and is supported and line managed by the Head. The Bursar, Head of Admissions and Marketing, Assistant Head Operations and the Assistant Head Pastoral also work closely with the Deputy Head in the Leadership Team.

The Assistant Head Pastoral is our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) for the school and the Deputy Head will be the DDSL along with others. This will ensure that the staff remain committed to safeguarding and protecting the children in our care as a matter of priority.

The Deputy Head position at Castle Court is one where you will be given the trust, freedom, and opportunity to play a pivotal role in setting the agenda and shaping the culture of the school. It is expected that the Deputy Head will be fully immersed into the life of the school, including the extracurricular life and trips.

**About Us**:
Castle Court is a day Prep School located in the heart of Dorset; we seek to appoint staff who will be keen to be involved in the full breadth of school life and supportive of the school’s Christian foundation.

Castle Court was founded in Parkstone, Poole, in 1948 as a day school for boys; in 1968 it moved to its present site in beautiful grounds on the north edge of Corfe Mullen. In the 1970s the school became co-educational and has steadily grown in size: today it has c. 280 pupils, with ages ranging from 2 to 13.

The setting is idyllic: 55 acres of magnificent playing-fields, playgrounds, gardens and woods; a school with stunning facilities, set in rural surroundings, yet easily reached from Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester, Ringwood and the Isle of Purbeck.

For administrative purposes it is divided into the Nursery (Badger Cubs and Badgers), Pre-Prep (Reception to Year 2) and Prep School (Years 3 to 8).

The Leadership Team comprises the Head, Deputy Head, Bursar, Head of Marketing and Admissions, Assistant Head - Operations and Assistant Head - Pastoral. The Director of Teaching and Learning, and the Head of Character and Values Education (CAVE) are also invited to Leadership Team meetings once a month.

The Management Team consists of Section Leaders, SENDCO, Core Subject Heads of Department, Director of Sport, Director of Music and Head of ICT. The Section Leaders look after the sections as follows: Nursery and Pre-Prep, Years 3 & 4, Years 5 & 6 and Years 7 & 8.
