We are seeking to appoint a deputy headteacher to the leadership team of this outstanding, vibrant community. The successful candidate will be comfortable leading in a Catholic Religious Order school and be able to inspire students and staff to be the best that they can be.
The role is ideal for a proven leader who is ready to take on significant strategic responsibilities and drive whole-school development in identified areas of responsibility.
St Anne’s is a highly-successful 11-16 girls’ school with a mixed sixth form in the heart of Southampton. Rated by Ofsted as outstanding in all areas, our Catholic ethos means we pride ourselves on ensuring that staff wellbeing is at the heart of every decision we make. Our results show that this leads to positive and successful learning experiences for our pupils. Staff and students often use the word family to describe what it feels like to be part of the school community. That’s why colleagues tell us they enjoy working here and are proud to be a member of St Anne’s: in our annual survey this year 100% of staff would recommend working at St Anne’s.
