Deputy Headteacher

St. Helen’s College is located on the edge of Court Park, in a quiet corner of Hillingdon – a beautiful and very fitting setting for young children. St. Helen's College Hillingdon is a leading coeducational independent prep school in North West London, with its own Nursery and Kindergarten. We believe that St. Helen’s College has something different and special to offer the children who come to us. We are well-served by public transport, being approximately a 10-minute walk from Hillingdon tube station and situated along several local bus routes.

In this key role, you will:

• assist the Head in the provision of professional leadership for the whole school;
• ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the school, liaising closely with the Head of Lower School;
• take the lead on pastoral care, safeguarding, staff development, staff induction and operational management;
• be an exemplary practitioner and an innovative, driven promoter and developer of St. Helen’s College ethos and policies;
• have high expectations for all children and staff, as well as excellent organisational and interpersonal skills. You will make it a priority to maintain effective and productive relationships with parents and external agencies.

In return, you will join a school with enthusiastic and well-behaved pupils and a happy staff team all within a welcoming and well-maintained environment. 

Visits are encouraged and can be arranged by emailing Su Smith: susmith@sthelenscollege.com
