Set in 20 acres of beautiful leafy grounds, Luckley House is a warm and welcoming school providing a Christian education characterised by academic excellence, a rich and diverse range of opportunity, aspiration and enthusiasm for life and generosity of spirit.
The Headmistress and Governors are seeking to appoint a highly motivated, dynamic and commercially minded Director of Finance and Operations (DFO) with the skill set to shape strategy and deliver operational functions effectively. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in the continued success and development of a school that has seen a significant growth in pupil numbers in recent years and is looking forward to launching a new ten year development plan that will allow for expansion of both its sports facilities and the wider site.
