Founded in 1961, South Lee School is a thriving, highly successful, co-ed day school. Pupils move on at 11+ and 13+ to a range of strong senior schools, locally and further afield.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a passionate, dynamic and inspirational teacher to join the Senior Management team as Deputy Head in this vibrant and forward looking prep school in the heart of Suffolk. We are looking for someone with outstanding communication skills and an understanding of prep school life.

The Deputy Head will be expected to teach a 50% timetable; an English or Science specialism up to Common Entrance 13+ and Scholarship level would be an advantage, but other subjects will be considered. A willingness to be involved in the extra-curricular life of the school is essential.

The school will offer the successful candidate training opportunities both for enhancing performance as Deputy Head and, if desired, as an aspiring Head. The Deputy Head attends meetings of the Governing Board and of some of its committees. The Deputy Head is co-responsible, along with the Bursar, for Health and Safety across the school.

To request an application pack for this position, please telephone the Head’s PA, Mrs Louise Ronge on 01284 754654 or email: office@southlee.co.uk
Closing date: Thursday 24th September 2015 Interviews: w/c Monday 5th October 2015

Only applicants completing the school’s official application form will be considered.

South Lee School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS [Disclosure and Barring Service] disclosure, satisfactory references and proof of legal right to work in the UK.
