Job overview
Fantastic headship opportunity in Cheshire!
One of the country’s largest standalone prep schools is looking for a new Head who can provide inspiring leadership within a particularly friendly family-style school community. Academic energy and a passion for giving the very best pastoral care are both equally important.
Lady Barn House School is situated in the affluent leafy suburb of Cheadle in Cheshire, just a few miles south-west of Manchester. Independent education is much prized throughout the area and Lady Barn has a very strong all-round reputation for its breadth as well as its significant academic strength. With 475 pupils aged 3 to 11, it is by far the largest prep school in the area and the children move on to a broad range of local independent senior schools.
Although the school is large, it retains a small school feel and its structure supports very close relationships between children and staff and staff and parents. It was founded in 1873 with a radical vision of genuine co-education alongside child-focussed teaching and equality of opportunity, and that ethos continues today. There is huge breadth in the school’s offering, along with first-class teaching and resources, and the attitude remains forward-thinking and adventurously innovative. At the same time the school delivers exceptional results which delight parents.
Children are everything at Lady Barn and if you are an experienced Head, Deputy or similar, this is your chance to enjoy leading a strong school with a strong position in a solid local market. Apart from huge personal and professional satisfaction, an excellent reward package is on offer.
