Deputy Headteacher Vacancy
The governors of Ormskirk Church of England Primary School are seeking to appoint a Deputy Headteacher from the 1st January 2027. This vacancy has arisen following the promotion of our current Deputy Headteacher to Headteacher, reflecting our strong commitment to leadership development and succession planning.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, driven, and experienced leader to take on the role of Deputy Headteacher at a warm, happy, and caring school with a distinctly Christian ethos.

We are dedicated to nurturing the whole child, and we pride ourselves on our high standards and quality care. We have experienced and dynamic staff who are well supported by the governors.
