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’.

The Deputy Principal will work with the Principal and the In-School Leadership Team to support and develop effective leadership within the school. 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 roles and responsibilities within the leadership and management team. The roles and responsibilities for this post relate to the following four domains of leadership and management as specified in Circular 44/2019;

1. Leading Teaching and Learning
2. Managing the Organisation
3. Leading School Development
4. Developing Leadership Capacity

The following skills, knowledge and experience are desirable:

• Proven leadership skills, including policy development and implementation.
• Previous teaching experience across a wide range of classes and settings in a primary school.
