Do you have the vision to define the future direction of the school? Will your input be the catalyst which inspires our students to follow their aspirations and achieve success as women of the future?
In a world where the agenda for women has progressed but is also still evolving, we want to equip our students with the self-confidence, creativity and resilience to become the inspiring women of the future. Looking forward, your vision and ambition could empower change within our school for the benefit of our next generation of talent.
We require a Headteacher who shares our values and will champion girls’ education. Always conscious of the challenges and opportunities faced by young people, you will ensure the school stays relevant, guiding it through the changes occurring in the wider community and society.
