Job overview
Head of Sixth Form Admissions & Outreach
The successful applicant will be a highly effective and efficient communicator, with exceptional organisational skills and a clear vision of how best to achieve the stated aims of the school, whilst remaining open to new ideas and developments. The Head of Sixth Form Admissions & Outreach will have a thorough understanding of the Sixth Form independent market, and will be proactive and imaginative in terms of recruiting able candidates to the school, from both the UK and overseas
There are high ambitions for the school and the successful applicant will join a highly motivated and passionate team, working in a friendly atmosphere which moves with great momentum and energy, without forsaking the personal touch.
Our Sixth Form is the subject of intense media attention because of our pioneering work in advocating a ‘later start’ for older teenagers; the successful candidate must of course share this commitment.
Reports to: Headmaster
The Head of Sixth Form Admissions & Outreach will need to be committed to the active recruitment of candidates, and to the promotion of the Sixth Form generally. He or she will support the Y12 and Y13 form tutors and SLT members in the running of the Sixth Form; it is however expected that up to half of each week will be spent on recruitment of pupils and the marketing/promotion of the Sixth Form.
This post could be a non-teaching position, but ideally the Head of Sixth Form Admissions & Outreach will also be doing some teaching at A level (either Y12 or Y13, or both), in which case he or she must have a proven track record of excellent results.

About Hampton Court House
Nestled in Bushy Park, Richmond-upon-Thames, Hampton Court House is an independent co-educational day school for ages 2 – 18, educating Early Years children in our Pre-Prep School & Nursery, The Little Courtiers, to students in Year 13.
The majority of our pupils elect to stay on to complete their full education with us, enjoying great success in their GCSEs and A Levels: in 2023, 40% of A Level grades were awarded A*/A, resulting in a 100% Oxbridge and Russell Group application success rate. Our GCSE results were equally strong, with 70% of all GCSE grades being awarded A*/A. Hampton Court House was in 2022 ranked in the top 50 independent schools nationwide (The Telegraph) and in the top 10 co-educational independent schools in London (School Owl, 2023).
Our programmes offer an extraordinary education. From the Forest School in Early Years and the award-winning Institut francais LabelFrancÉducation accredited French bilingual programme, to the Nebula Future Researcher’s Programme © in the Sixth Form, Hampton Court House pupils get a head start every step of the way.
We lay the foundations of a lifelong love of learning, and it is important to us that children enjoy being here and look forward to coming to school. In keeping with our ethos, we believe that children need some guided freedom in order to develop their independence and confidence to use their voice. Our non-uniform parkland campus environment, in which staff and pupils alike are addressed on a first-name basis, cultivates an energy where pupils grow in confidence and find themselves.
The school is located close to Hampton Court station, which is 35 minutes from Waterloo and 20 minutes from Wimbledon by train. There are also frequent buses to and from Kingston, Hampton, Teddington and Twickenham, or for staff who drive, there is on-site parking.
