Hampton Court House is an award-winning independent co-educational day school for ages 2 – 18, educating children and young people from pre-nursery to Year 13. The majority of our 300+ pupils elect to stay on to complete their full education with us, enjoying high levels of academic success in their GCSEs and A levels, and at Oxbridge and Russell Group university entry.
Together with deep academic rigour, we strive to lay the foundation of a lifelong love of learning, and it is important to us that children enjoy being here and look forward to coming to school. Our non-uniform parkland campus, in which staff and pupils alike are addressed on a first-name basis, cultivates an atmosphere in which our pupils can explore their curiosity, individuality and style with taste and discretion.
We are seeking an exceptional Head of Faculty to lead MST provision across the Senior School and through this and other responsibilities, contribute to the strategic development of the Senior School from September 2025.
The successful applicant will have operational and strategic responsibility for the Mathematics Department and will teach Mathematics. They will also line manage the Heads of Science and Computing. They will be responsible for promoting flourishing MST provision across the Senior School. Whilst the job has a specific focus in Mathematics, it also gives outstanding opportunities for leading change across the whole of the Senior School.
The post holder will be part of the Senior School’s Middle Leadership Team, which meets regularly to discuss academic, pastoral and co-curricular matters pertaining to the Senior School. The Head of Faculty for MST will be accountable to, and meet regularly with, the Vice Principal - Academic and, given the seniority of this role, will also meet regularly with the Principal.
The role would be ideal for a current Head of Department looking for their next step in their professional development. This would be an excellent stepping-stone to a Deputy Head position or a fantastic opportunity to shape a critical part of school life.
Hampton Court House offers its own competitive salary scale and contributory pension scheme.
