We are a co-educational, multigrade school with a dedicated, supportive staff and a wonderful, close-knit school community. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, positive school culture and commitment to providing an inclusive, nurturing and engaging learning environment for all pupils.
The Board of Management invites applications for the position of Deputy Principal.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, committed and capable teacher who will work closely with the Principal to support the leadership, management and continued development of our school.
The successful candidate will play an important role in promoting a positive school culture, supporting high-quality teaching and learning, and contributing to the effective day-to-day organisation and development of the school.
The roles and responsibilities of the Deputy Principal will be aligned with the four domains of leadership and management as outlined in Circular 0044/2019 and Looking at Our School 2022:

Leadership skills and experience, including taking initiative, leading school activities or contributing to whole-school development. Previous experience in a formal leadership role would be advantageous.
Experience teaching in a small-school or multigrade setting, which would be particularly advantageous.

A good understanding of special educational needs and inclusive education, with a commitment to supporting the diverse learning needs of all pupils.

Strong organisational, communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with pupils, staff, parents, the Board of Management and the wider school community.
A collaborative and supportive approach to leadership, with the ability to work closely with the Principal and contribute positively to a small staff team.
Initiative, sound professional judgement and a flexible, solution-focused approach to school leadership and management.
A commitment to continuous professional development, reflective practice and developing their own leadership capacity.
We welcome applications from teachers who are passionate about education, value teamwork and are eager to contribute to the leadership and continued development of our school
