At Blockley School, we encourage one another and build one another up, aspiring to love learning, celebrate success, respect difference and nurture others in a Christian environment. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful North Cotswolds, Blockley Church of England Primary School is a thriving and welcoming village school where children are encouraged to flourish academically, socially and spiritually.
Our Christian vision underpins all that we do and is lived out through our core values of Love, Encourage, Aspire, Respect and Nurture. "Encourage one another and build one another up." 1 Thessalonians 5:11
These values shape our relationships, our curriculum and our aspirations for every member of our school community. We believe that when children feel loved, respected, nurtured and encouraged, they develop the confidence to aspire to great things and become compassionate, responsible citizens.
We are seeking an exceptional Deputy Headteacher who shares our vision and values and who will work alongside the Headteacher, staff, governors, families and wider community to continue building a school where all can flourish and where children are inspired to love learning and achieve their very best.
As part of the Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust, we benefit from being part of a collaborative family of schools whilst maintaining the distinctive character and closeknit community spirit that makes Blockley such a special place to learn and work.
We are proud of our caring Christian ethos, high expectations and commitment to ensuring every child thrives. Our children are at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to provide an environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their full potential.
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and passionate leader to join our team and help shape the future of our wonderful school. We are looking for someone who will embrace our vision, inspire others and work collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure the very best outcomes for our children.
We look forward to welcoming applications from candidates who share our commitment to nurturing young people, celebrating individuality and building a culture of aspiration and excellence.
