Job overview
Following the promotion of the current post holder to a Deputy Head position the school is seeking to recruit a new Assistant Head (Sixth Form) with drive and energy, to not only lead on all aspects of the Sixth Form, but to contribute to the development of the school’s strategic plan.
The Sixth Form is made up of approx. 200 students. The Sixth Form students benefit from small class sizes, a wide range of subjects to study, plenty of individual tutoring and a plethora of enrichment and leadership opportunities. From September 2017, a new Sixth Form Curriculum is to be launched. At the heart of the curriculum are the A Level subjects but further enrichment is to be provided by the addition of further academic courses to encourage breadth as well as a Liberal Arts programme.

About The Grange School
The Grange School has been one of the great success stories of independent education over the past forty years. The school was founded in 1933 as a Kindergarten and Preparatory School. In 1977, the Governors took the major step of developing secondary education and since 1978 the school has grown steadily and developed an outstanding academic reputation. Today, The Grange has a total enrolment of 1223 students with 429 in the Junior School (4-11 years) and 794 in the Senior School. It is consistently one of the best performing schools in Cheshire and undoubtedly among the very best independent co-educational day schools in the country.
Our academic results speak for themselves; we are consistently one of the highest ranking co-educational independent schools in the country. In 2023, 22% of GCSE entries were awarded grade 9. At A Level (in 2023), 21% of entries were awarded an A* grade. Thanks to these excellent results, the majority of our leavers (approximately 75%) go on to join their first-choice university.
More importantly we are a very happy school. The relationship between staff and students is exceptional; although very busy and, at times, pressurised, it is a pleasure to work and study in such a friendly environment. Expectations of teachers and pupils are high, but this serves both to stimulate achievement and provide reward.
We understand our chief purpose to be to help produce young people who truly flourish and find fulfilment as adults. We try to do this by helping them to identify and develop their unique combination of strengths, talents and passions, and to challenge them to find a purpose for their lives which such attributes can serve.
