Ormskirk School is seeking to appoint a Deputy Headteacher to lead on Behaviour and Attendance and play a key role in shaping the future of Ormskirk School at a very exciting and pivotal stage in our journey.

We are part of Endeavour Learning Trust, a growing, well-established, highly respected and thriving Trust in the North West, currently spanning South Ribble, West Lancashire and North Sefton.

Ormskirk School is a warm and welcoming place, filled with wonderful children and a dedicated staff who are proud to work for the school. Over the last four years the school has been improving every year but we have made sure that the improvements have firm foundations.

The improvements we have made have centred around a broad and balanced curriculum, improvements in behaviour, teaching and learning and developing an open culture where staff are happy to work in and feel confident to express their views.

We were absolutely delighted with our recent Ofsted where the improvements we have made were finally recognised. We are now looking for a Deputy Head – Behaviour & Attendance who will embrace this culture of openness and further develop our school.

Our vision for every student at Ormskirk School is simple yet meaningful: Proud to Belong. We want each child to feel proud to be part of a school that is aspirational, inclusive, and kind.

This is a fantastic opportunity to influence our culture, ethos, and student experience, ensuring every young person thrives in a positive, inclusive, and high-achieving environment. We need a leader who truly understands our school - someone who can inspire, motivate, and drive lasting change. If you have the vision, passion, and leadership to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you!

As the new Deputy Headteacher – Behaviour & Attendance you will:

• Have an effective leadership style that develops a positive culture amongst staff and students.
• Possess a dedication to providing students with the best education possible and have the vision, passion and proven track record in school improvement to ensure significant improvements in performance across the school.
• Be someone with the ability to motivate and inspire students, staff and parents with a strong sense of teamwork and can lead by example, influencing decision-making and shaping policies.
• Be aspirational, with an uncompromising commitment to improving educational outcomes for all students.
• Lead upon all areas related to attendance, rewards, celebrations, behaviour and attitudes to create an inclusive, aspirational and community centred ethos across the school.

Whether you are seeking your first Deputy Headteacher post or an experienced school leader looking for the next challenge in your career, if you are committed to championing excellence for all and looking for an opportunity to support with leading an exceptional school within our Trust, we want to hear from you.
