The Opportunity
This is a rare and wonderful opportunity for an exceptional school leader who can truly inspire magical education. Whilst that may sound trite, it is our reality. If you are a box ticker or have been worn down in your current job, please don’t apply.
Our school has a strong and successful ethos which enables every child to discover, explore, develop and enjoy their own interests, passions and abilities. Staff nurture, support and encourage, whilst parents enthuse about the education and care their children enjoy. We celebrate childhood, allowing our children to flourish at their own pace and enjoy the successes that brings.
Our next Head will continue to drive excellence in teaching and learning, provide amazing learning experiences for all children, embrace our families and be the champion of the school and its values.
Please submit your CV with a covering letter and our application form (available on our website under ‘Vacancies’) to Angela Forsyth, Lead Consultant.

About Dallington School
A family-run, independent, co-educational day school for children aged 3 to 11, in the heart of London
We offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced to a non-selective and co-educational intake. We aim to provide for each child, a happy, secure and stimulating environment, that promotes discovery and observation and values a love of learning. Our children address teachers by their first names and do not wear a uniform. The children in our Nurseries are taught by qualified teachers working with NVQ3 qualified assistants.
We encourage our children to become confident and enthusiastic learners. Our children work and play together in a co-operative, supportive way and great emphasis is placed on nurturing the development of the powers of reasoning, reflective and critical thinking. We provide an environment where children can openly relate to others and expect to be listened to and respected for their points of view.
The school is widely creative and the children are encouraged to assume responsibility in a self-regulated, purposeful way. Art, design and technology, music and dance are strong elements of the curriculum which run throughout the school. Children are also introduced to a variety of activities taught by specialist teachers including Singing and Circus Skills from the age of three, Drama, French, Swimming and Sports from the age of four, Recorder and Kodaly Method from the age of five and Ukulele from the age of six.
Dallington was founded in 1978 by Mogg Hercules.
