Headteacher

Norfolk House is a highly successful co-educational, independent day school for pupils aged two to eleven situated across two charming Victorian houses in Muswell Hill, London. The School prides itself on its strong sense of community and commitment to ensuring that each child feels supported and valued. Small class sizes support a personalised approach to learning which blends innovation and tradition in the classroom to create an environment where children truly engage and flourish academically. At the end of their time at Norfolk House, children achieve excellent results, allowing them to move onto a range of leading senior schools in London and beyond.

Norfolk House is proud to be the founding school of the Bellevue Education group and benefits from shared best-practice and resources, in addition to focused training programmes covering all aspects of education. The School also receives specialist support from Bellevue in the areas of educational training and professional development, finance, human resources and marketing, enabling the Head to focus on the most important aspects of their work: delivering an exceptional education which enables every child to reach their full potential. Bellevue is a schools group that empowers its leaders and equips them with the tools required to thrive in today’s demanding environment.

Bellevue is now seeking to appoint a new Head for Norfolk House to succeed Paul Jowett in September 2022. The next Head will lead the School with vision, inspiration and initiative which allows Norfolk House to build upon its considerable strengths and further enhance its provision and enviable reputation in the North London marketplace. Applications are welcomed from serving Head and ambitious senior leaders ready to make the step up to headship within a supportive and empowering governance structure. Candidates based internationally and interested in a return to the U.K. will be given serious consideration despite travel restrictions which may be in place.
