Sibford School are now seeking an exceptional Deputy Head (Pastoral) to join the Senior Leadership Team. This role plays a vital part in shaping and sustaining a school environment where every student is known, supported, and able to flourish. 

The Deputy Head (Pastoral) is a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, responsible for leading and overseeing all aspects of pastoral care and student welfare across the school, including the boarding community and the school’s safeguarding provision. 

With oversight of pastoral systems, wellbeing, safeguarding, behaviour, and boarding, the Deputy Head (Pastoral) ensures that the school remains a safe, inclusive, and compassionate community firmly rooted in Quaker values. The postholder will work closely with the Head, senior colleagues, and staff across the school to promote a culture of care, community and belonging. 

There is no expectation for the Deputy Head (Pastoral) to be a practising Quaker — indeed, the majority of staff are not — but they should demonstrate a genuine affinity for and commitment to the school’s Quaker values, which underpin our ethos and community life. 

As the school’s sole Deputy Head (Pastoral), the postholder will be responsible for deputising for the Head as required. The Deputy Head (Pastoral) is expected to live on the school site and therefore spacious family accommodation is provided. 

The successful candidate must have:- 

• Qualified Teacher Status, a recognised degree level qualification or substantial school leadership experience 
• Substantial experience in pastoral leadership, safeguarding, and student support.
• A DSL qualification (or willingness to undertake training) and strong knowledge of statutory safeguarding responsibilities. 
• Experience of leading or supporting boarding provision. 
• A relational, values-led approach to leadership and care. 
• Be a collaborative team player with the ability to lead and manage others including at a senior level. 
• Strategic capability – an ability to see the big picture, think strategically, innovate and manage change in a school setting.
