Start date : September 2026
West Green Primary School is a successful and popular one form entry primary school with a specialist Speech and Language Resource Base in the London Borough of Haringey, with an excellent reputation in the local area.
Due to our current Headteacher moving on, our current Deputy of ten years, Jenny Murphy, will be taking on the role from September 2026. This creates an exciting opportunity for someone to join this already successful staff team and support leading the school towards its next chapter of excellence.
We are looking for an exceptional, committed Deputy Headteacher with a proven record of educational leadership, at least at Assistant Head level or equivalent, to support our school in achieving our vision – that our children achieve their best, academically and personally, no matter what. Our recent Ofsted report (Feb 2026) identified our many strengths and we are looking to continue to secure the school’s high standards and inclusive practice. Moreover, as West Green’s identity is strong, our new Deputy must share our cultural ethos and values which sit at the heart of everything we do.
Our future Deputy Head will be an excellent teacher, have strong leadership skills and be able to manage the demands of an inner-city one form entry primary school. In support, the school offers a strong, motivated and dedicated team of teaching and support staff, committed to ensuring high achievement and equity of opportunity for all.
