Thank you for showing an interest in this post. We hope that the following
information about St Helen’s school and job description will help you to decide

**WELCOME TO ST HELEN’S
St Helen’s is a large, thriving all-through school and many of the girls who leave
us at the end of Year 13 have been with us since Nursery or Reception. We are
ambitious for every single girl: that she achieves her potential; that she leaves us
to embark upon an exciting and fulfilling future, able to deal with whatever life
throws at her with a calm, inner resolve and a sense of fun; that she is ready to
go out into the world and make a difference. St Helen’s has a long tradition of
academic excellence which encourages girls to pursue intellectual curiosity
beyond the curriculum. Our GCSE results put us very securely into the top 50
independent schools in the country each year. Sixth Formers go on to
established, high-ranking universities including Oxford and Cambridge, with
more than just academic success; our co-curricular programme is rich and
varied, and our pastoral care ensures that every girl is valued and cared for.

Within easy reach of central London, our school is set in 21 acres of lovely
grounds and, just as we are proud of our students’ academic achievements and
their personal development, we are also proud of our facilities and buildings. We
have invested over £20 million in a building programme over the last five years
and have plans to do more.

St Helen’s has a warm and lively atmosphere that makes it a really exciting
place to work. Our staff and our girls look out for each other and encourage each
other to be the best possible version of themselves. As such, you will play a vital
role in supporting the school in the next stage of its journey and I look forward to
