Kilglass National School is a vertical co-educational Catholic Primary School in the Diocese of Killala under the Apostolic Administration of Archbishop Francis Duffy. The Board of Management invites applications for the position of Deputy Principal. This is a permanent position and the appointment will be made via open competition.
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:
1. Leading Teaching and Learning
2. Managing the Organisation
3. Leading School Development
4. Developing Leadership Capacity

All applications should be received by 3.10pm on Monday 29th April by post or using the following email address: applications@kilglassns.ie
