The Mount School York
Head
The Mount School, York is an exceptional independent school catering for the day and boarding needs of girls aged 11 -18 and the day needs of both boys and girls aged 3-11. The School has been a leader in educating girls since its inception by prominent Quakers, Esther and William Tuke, in 1785, understanding, inspiring and empowering confident young women, enabling them to believe nothing is beyond their reach.
The Quaker ethos remains at the heart of the School today, which has evolved to provide a coeducational junior school environment in addition to an all-girls education for senior pupils. Led by our ethos, we provide a high quality rounded and caring education.
This is an exciting opportunity for a committed, dynamic and innovative leader to drive the next phase of an ambitious growth strategy. You will do this while managing an environment that will continue to deliver excellent education, anchored by the highest academic standards, and pastoral care that enables every pupil to achieve their full potential.
The successful individual will lead the School into the next phase of its journey. We seek a visionary leader who is passionate about empowering young women and fostering a nurturing, inclusive environment. The ideal candidate will bring a blend of strategic acumen, innovative thinking, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that a school like The Mount School York brings. They will be dedicated to upholding the School’s values, ensuring every student thrives both academically and personally. Whilst our links with the Quaker Religious Society of Friends remain strong, the Head is not required to be a practising member of the Quaker community.
