POST DETAILS

Additional Information:
St. Peter’s National school is a Catholic School under the patronage of the Bishop of Raphoe. The teaching staff currently comprises of administrative principal, four mainstream class teachers, two special education teachers, two autism class teachers and six special needs assistants.

Our aim is to develop each child’s personal, spiritual and educational potential in a respectful, safe, inclusive teaching and learning environment in collaboration with parents, guardians and the wider school community.

Circular 0044/2019 states: ‘While the Principal is ultimately responsible to the Board of Management, as appropriate, for the leadership and management of the school, the Deputy Principal occupies a position of vital importance within the senior leadership team in a school. Shared leadership requires openness and willingness on the part of Principals and Deputy Principals, to share and to distribute leadership and management responsibilities in a manner that encourages and supports partnership. The Deputy Principal co-operates with the Principal in the fulfilment of the Principal’s role and acts or deputises as the Principal in the Principal’s absence’.

In accordance with Circular 0044/2019, it should be noted that as the needs of the school continuously evolve, a review of duties may result in reassignment of the role and responsibilities within the leadership and management team.

The Deputy Principal will work with the Principal and the In-School Leadership Team to support and develop effective leadership within the school. Specific Roles and Responsibilities for this position relate to the four domains of Leadership and Management as outlined in circular 0044/2019 as follows:
1. Leading Teaching and Learning
2. Managing the Organisation
3. Leading School Development
4. Developing Leadership Capacity

In line with the above domains and working closely with the Principal, the duties attached to the role involve whole school curricular development, policy development, day-to-day management of resources and personnel and long-term strategic planning for the future development of the school.

Applicants must be fully registered with the Teaching Council under Route 1 (Primary) with the Teaching Council and have a minimum of five years’ recognised teaching service, two of which must be in a recognised primary school within the Republic of Ireland. (Circular 0044/2019)
