Head

This is an academically ambitious independent day and boarding school in the UK with a long and successful history. The school has developed a distinctive educational proposition which combines strong academic foundations with an explicitly future-focused approach to education. The school has an impressive record of academic achievement, with students consistently achieving strong results across its internationally recognised programmes and progressing to leading universities in the UK and overseas. Its academic success has been accompanied by national recognition for the quality and innovation of its educational provision.

The school has a deliberately close-knit and personalised character, with small classes and a strong emphasis on individual academic and pastoral support. Its genuinely international community brings together students and families from a wide range of nationalities, while the boarding provision provides a welcoming, supportive and family-oriented environment.

The combination of academic ambition, internationalism, innovation, personalisation and a strong future-focused philosophy gives the school a distinctive position within the UK independent education sector and makes this an exciting opportunity for an exceptional educational leader.

The school is seeking an ambitious, inspirational and forward-thinking Head to lead the next stage of its development. This is not a traditional headship: the school has a clear belief that much of what is regarded as 'modern education' remains rooted in models designed for a very different world. It is committed to developing an educational approach that responds meaningfully to the profound changes taking place in society, technology, employment and, particularly, artificial intelligence. The successful candidate will therefore be someone who not only understands the scale of this challenge but has a genuine personal passion for rethinking education and a strong desire to work with an ambitious, highly talented team to create something genuinely distinctive.
