Nottingham High School, Head

Nottingham High School was founded in 1513, under the seal of Henry VIII, and
enjoys a national reputation as a leading independent, co-educational day school in
the East Midlands. Whilst rooted in historic traditions, the School prides itself on
the holistic, forward-looking and innovative education that it offers to just under
1200 girls and boys aged 4 to 18 years.

Academic, co-curricular and pastoral excellence are the cornerstones of the School,
which has inclusivity at its heart, celebrates the rich diversity of its community, and
champions individuality. The highest standards of teaching and learning, and the
ambition to participate successfully in a wide variety of activities, are supported by
an excellent system of pastoral care, based on small tutor groups, which facilitates
the School’s focus on individual well-being and openness.

The Governors are seeking an inspirational and imaginative leader: a strategic
thinker with a bold educational vision and sense of purpose who will build on the
momentum of the School and continue its upwards and outwards trajectory. The
successful candidate will be an experienced Head, or an exceptional aspiring Head,
and will be an intellectually agile and empathetic leader who engages with all
members of the school community. A commitment to leading an academically
excellent, inclusive and diverse community, and to educating pupils broadly in
preparation for life in a challenging and fast moving world will be pre-requisites for
candidates for this headship.
