Deepika Dayal
Deputy Head of Primary
Dear Winchester Family,
Welcome to a new school year!
My primary focus as the Deputy Head of Primary is on aligning primary school goals with the whole school’s objectives, creating an internal monitoring program for high-quality teaching, and training the middle leadership team in review and intervention processes. This includes fostering a collaborative culture among teaching and administrative staff, planning bespoke training for specific teacher needs, and supporting professional development through weekly sessions to enhance teaching quality based on recommendations.
I work directly with Key stage Leaders/ Head of Department to mentor/coach teachers to ensure highest academic standards in every section of the school (teaching and learning, assessment, curriculum, care and support). This includes implementing innovative teaching methods and technologies through professional development and training.
As part of the Senior Leadership Team, I continuously work on enhancing parental engagement by fostering and promoting communication and collaboration between the school and parents, establishing feedback channels, and increasing parental involvement in education. Student welfare and inclusivity as always, remain a top priority, addressed by implementing support programs and behavior management strategies to create a positive learning environment.
My personal interest keeps me on top of education trends which facilitate the empowerment of the teacher community and the maintenance of excellent student outcomes. As a self-motivated educator and team leader, I aim to continue with a collaborative yet decisive approach to ensure that the Winchester teaching methodologies remains well-reputed among all our stakeholders.
Sincerely,
Deepika Dayal
Deputy Head of Primary
