Park House School is working in partnership with Transform Learning Trust, as they seek to appoint a Principal to lead this thriving secondary school in its next exciting stage of development.
Park House School is a growing 11-18 secondary school with 1208 students on roll including the Sixth Form.

In 2019, the school was identified as one of 30 hubs representing the ‘National Centre for Computing Education’ (NCCE) supporting schools across the South-Central region.

We are looking for a Principal who has:
- the ability to lead and inspire the school and trust community, with excellent interpersonal skills and a track record of successfully managing teams
