Deputy Head (Co-Curriculum)
Required from September 2025 or January 2026
Following the appointment of Andrew McBride (current postholder) to Headmaster at Rossall School, we are looking for an inspiring and forward-thinking individual to continue to develop the Co-Curricular programme at RGS Newcastle.
The RGS has a reputation for excellence across both academic and co-curricular activities, and our students benefit from the wide range of opportunities they can enjoy. We are equally dedicated to our pastoral care as we believe that happy children learn best. We encourage our students to be intellectually curious, to think creatively and to challenge themselves in everything they undertake. We believe that core to a well-rounded education is a diverse, challenging and fun co-curricular programme.
The post of Deputy Head (Co-Curriculum) signals the high priority we place on this aspect of life at RGS. The breadth of co-curricular activities available is already immense and delivered by dedicated teaching and support staff. The successful candidate will join our dynamic Senior Leadership Team to develop our Co-Curricular programme yet further, ensuring that the opportunities available are of consistently high quality and that participation is high. Every student in the school should have the opportunity to engage in activities that develop team and leadership skills, build confidence, explore new hobbies and have fun with contemporaries.
The right candidate will also actively support the determination of the school to raise aspiration and attainment for bright children across the North East, through our established bursary and partnership programmes.
The salary offered will be commensurate with the seniority of the role.

Closing Date: 9.00am Monday 28th April 2025
