Assistant Head (Sixth Form) Permanent, Full-Time At LEH, we are redefining Sixth Form education. We combine academic rigour with creativity, leadership and opportunity to deliver a distinctive, future-focused experience for highly capable girls - and we are seeking an exceptional and visionary leader to help us take this even further. We want someone to shape a sector-leading 16+ provision that empowers ambitious young women to excel academically and thrive during and beyond school. As Assistant Head (Sixth Form) and a member of the Senior Management Team, you will set the culture of success, scholarship and aspiration for our Sixth Form community. We are looking for an experienced educational leader with outstanding teaching credentials and substantial pastoral experience. You will be energetic, strategic and forward-thinking - someone who can analyse academic progress with precision, innovate with confidence and lead a team with warmth, vision and clarity. Exceptional interpersonal skills, sound judgement and a deep understanding of post-16 education are essential. Above all, you will believe passionately in the power of education to prepare young women to take their place at the table, in the room and in the world - in whichever sphere they choose. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to shape the future of an ambitious and vibrant Sixth Form, one where every student believes everything is possible and has the self-belief, confidence, skills and knowledge to achieve everything she wants to. What we offer: LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site southwest of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama. We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school's swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library resources. A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found here . How to Apply: An application pack is available from the School's website by clicking here . Applications must be made on the School's own form, CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted. The closing date is noon on 16 March 2026. Interviews to take place in week commencing 23 March 2026. Safeguarding Statement: All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder's responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School's safeguarding policies and procedures at all times. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
