Head

The Chairman and Governors of St Mary’s School Ascot invite applications for the role of Head on the retirement of Mrs Mary Breen in August 2019, following twenty years of outstanding leadership.

Founded in 1885, St Mary’s School Ascot is one of the leading all girls boarding schools in the United Kingdom.  The School offers a broad and balanced education to 380 pupils, aged between 11 and 18, in 55 acres of beautiful grounds in the heart of Berkshire. Excellent academic standards combined with strong pastoral care and a breadth of co-curricular opportunities mean every pupil can achieve her academic and personal potential as part of a friendly, stable and caring community. 

At the heart of St Mary’s lies a strong Roman Catholic ethos and the Governors are seeking to appoint a practising Catholic. The role offers a tremendous opportunity for an inspiring and caring leader with energy and ambition to take this exceptional school forwards.
