Girls’ 11 – 18 fully comprehensive community school: roll 1200, including 319 in LaSWAP mixed Sixth Form Consortium.

Rated ‘Outstanding’ (Ofsted 2024) our school is located on a beautiful site on the edge of Hampstead Heath, and easily accessible to all parts of Central and North London, providing a peaceful and secure environment for rich and stimulating learning experiences.
We have an unswerving commitment to our inclusive culture and a well-established reputation for providing an education of the highest quality for girls. Our motto, which runs as a golden thread through everything we do captures our essential ethos: we are a High Achieving and Happy school.
This is a tremendous opportunity for an aspiring or experienced Head who shares our values: one who will cherish and build on our inclusive, liberal and progressive Camden community culture and the school’s founding feminist principles. Our current head, Sarah Creasey, is moving on in August 2027, following ten years of outstanding and inspiring leadership and leaves a great legacy for a new head to build on.
We seek a calm and approachable leader with a passion for research-based pedagogy; one who can maintain high academic standards whilst continuing to enhance personal development and enrichment opportunities for every student; an excellent communicator with high levels of emotional intelligence, ambassadorial skills and an entrepreneurial spirit who can inspire and motivate students and staff, taking our happy and high achieving school forward with energy, new ideas and optimism.
If you would thrive in a diverse, complex urban school, then this will be an exciting opportunity for you. We can offer lively and engaged students, talented and dedicated staff, and a strong group of governors who will share your commitment to raising standards, and provide you with the right blend of support and challenge.
