“We want someone who can grow us as well as grow themselves; and bring with them the joy of learning every time they come to work” - Martin Serrao, Principal
St Mary’s and St John’s CE school is an all-through school in Hendon, North London, successfully providing high quality education and academic achievement for children and young people from Nursery to Sixth Form. We are proud to be a diverse, multi-faith, harmonious school, with a distinctive Christian ethos, resolute in the belief that “With God, all things are possible”. In a changing world our values: Wisdom, Service and Hope, define us, strengthen relationships with our parents and children, and provide guiding principles that enable us to deliver academic excellence and promote self-discipline and resilience.
With over 700 children in the Primary and Nursery phase, across two sites, and reporting to the Principal, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to grow and be mentored as a senior school leader, surrounded by a strong, capable SLT team and supportive Governors.
For a Head or Deputy Head within a small or similar school environment, this could be your next challenge… equally, for a capable and experienced middle leader with still yet untapped potential, this might be the right opportunity for you.
If you believe you can provide outstanding leadership, which inspires and motivates others towards excellence and ensures the very best education for all our learners, then we would love to hear from you.
