Bursar

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced professional with senior management experience to lead all the non-teaching aspects of the charity. The Bursar is the most senior non-academic position at Queen’s and this is therefore a crucial strategic appointment.

Queen’s College, London is a charity consisting of two schools. The College, based on Harley Street, is a highly successful independent girls’ senior day school of 430 pupils aged 11-18, and is a member of the Girls’ Schools Association (GSA). Queen’s has been at the forefront of education for nearly 175 years. Established in 1848, Queen’s was the first British educational establishment to give academic qualifications to women. We are now one of the most high-achieving, diverse and forward-looking girls’ schools in London. Our goal is to be a community where every individual thrives, both personally and academically.

Queen’s College Preparatory School (QCPS), a short walk away from the College, has a similar ethos and has enjoyed rapid growth since its foundation in 2002. QCPS is a member of the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) and has become one of the most successful girls’ prep schools in London, its pupils progressing to an array of leading day and boarding senior schools, including Queen’s College.
