Job overview
The Role
This is a rare opportunity to join the senior team at the Mulberry School for Girls. With sector-leading teacher retention and passionate investment in staff development, we don’t often find ourselves advertising for roles.
As Assistant Head you will provide inspirational leadership to staff and be a role model to students. The role will have responsibility for a discrete strategic area rather than a key stage, which will be decided based on the experience, interest and passion of the appointed candidate and the needs of the school.
You will work closely with the senior leadership team on a process of continuous improvement, ensuring that the school continues to deliver ever better outcomes for students. Just because we are already successful, doesn’t mean that there isn’t still room for creative innovation.
What we’re looking for
You will have an unshakeable belief that all children deserve an excellent school environment and your work will have a significant positive impact on students’ personal development, well-being and achievement.
We want someone who is positive, dynamic and has a genuine love for learning. You will be a qualified teacher with experience of both hands-on teaching and middle management in education.
The ethos at Mulberry is a key strength of the school and we are seeking to recruit a passionate and creative professional.

About Mulberry School for Girls
A message from the CEO, Dr Vanessa Ogden
Mulberry School for Girls is a high achieving, over-subscribed and successful girls’ comprehensive school for pupils aged 11 to 18. It is a place where girls’ talents and abilities are nurtured in a safe creative space and where they can develop their ambitions and the power for self-determination. Our aim is that all pupils should leave the school as highly qualified, confident and articulate young women with a wealth of experience in the wider world. Outstanding academic achievement is very important for future success, as is the need to develop ‘Confidence, Creativity, Leadership’ and a life-long ‘Love of Learning’. We believe these things will enable our pupils to lead enriched, happy and fulfilled lives, making a contribution to their own community, to British society and to global well-being.
Mulberry is an inclusive school with a wealth of multi-agency support employed by us to support pupils and their families. Provision for special educational needs is excellent. There is an outstanding enrichment programme which includes Global Classrooms, women’s education conferences, Girl Guides, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the Mulberry Theatre Company. Mulberry’s arts education programme is well-known in London and we count the National Theatre, the British Film Institute, the Donmar Warehouse, the Royal Court Theatre and Southbank Centre amongst our valued partners. There is also a strong family provision with a range of events, classes and courses for parents. We hope you will come and visit.
