Job overview
The Principal and Head are seeking to appoint a Deputy Head Academic of Stamford High School following the retirement of the current post holder.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of an enthusiastic and dynamic Senior Leadership Team and, for the right candidate, offering the opportunity to lead and manage aspects of School life across the three Schools. The post requires an inspiring practitioner with a keen interest in the all-round development of young people who is happy as part of a team but willing to take the lead as necessary. The School has a small, but growing, boarding community (about 10% of the girls board as either weekly or full boarders); an interest in, and enthusiasm for, the role of boarding in education is desirable.
Stamford is situated on the edge of Lincolnshire with easy road and rail access to London and within reach of a number of international airports. In 2013 it was declared “the best place to live in Britain” by the Sunday Times and has been described as “the finest stone town in England”. Stamford Endowed Schools are a major employer in the town and being a “great place to work” is part of its ethos.
Candidates wishing to find out more about the post, the school and the area are invited to talk informally to the Head; a mutually convenient time can be arranged by calling 01780 484267/273 or by emailing recruitment@ses.lincs.sch.uk
To apply, download application and monitoring forms and submit the completed forms to recruitment@ses.lincs.sch.uk or visit the School website www.ses.lincs.sch.uk/vacancies
The Stamford Endowed Schools are actively committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

The Schools are part of the great heritage of Stamford and a symbol of its vibrancy and evolution. The Schools have been established in Stamford since 1532, providing a first class education for children. Today the Schools remain interwoven with Stamford life, to which our students, teachers and parents contribute greatly. At Stamford we have one simple and overriding aim, that is to inspire our students and light fires within them.
The schools educate 1650 pupils at the Stamford Junior School for children aged 2-11, Stamford School for students aged 11-16, and Stamford Sixth Form for students aged 16-18.
This is a really exciting time to be joining the School as after nearly 500 years as a boys’ school and 200 years as a girls’ school, we have joined together as a fully co-educational school. This restructure is giving us the opportunity to look at all aspects of school life with fresh eyes, and we are looking at everything from how we provide the best possible pastoral care to how we shape the timetable, how we make best use of our estate, to how AI can support classroom learning. It is a big change, but a once in a generation opportunity to really set up the School for the next hundred years.
After this positive change, stamfordians will still be able to leave here poised for success in the real world - quietly confident, kind, positive, hardworking, unassuming and resilient. We are independent schools nurturing independent minds.
"I love the idea of preparing our kids from the school room to the boardroom in the 21st century, wherever that boardroom is in a rainforest in Brazil or as a CEO or working with a charity in India. Just as we have a big responsibility, so will they. I want them not just to be content to live in the world but to change it. Exciting!”
Principal, Will Phelan
