Additional Information:
The Board of Management of Ratoath Junior National School (under the Patronage of the Bishop of Meath, Dr. Tom Deenihan), Roll Number:00885T is inviting applications for the position of Deputy Principal.

This is a permanent position. 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 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.

The successful candidate must hold a certificate to teach religion in a Catholic school. The Deputy Principal will be expected to uphold and promote the ethos, values, and traditions of the school.

Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria: Fully registered under Route 1 (Primary) with the Teaching Council and have 5 years recognised teaching service, two of which must be in a recognised primary school within the Republic of Ireland.

Applications by POST ONLY (marked Deputy Principal Vacancy) to the Chairperson of the Board of Management, at the following address:
