Job overview
Required for September 2025
Abbot’s Hill School is an independent day school for pupils aged from 3-16 with a thriving co-ed Day Nursery. Set amid 76 acres, our beautiful grounds offer an abundance of outdoor space, including woodland, where our pupils can explore, enjoy and learn.
In April 2024, Abbot’s Hill became the tenth UK school in the Mill Hill Education Group, after a charity merger. This brings benefits from the wider support network across the Group, including in marketing and admissions. The Group also offers the financial security that underpins future investment, with the next major project being the extension of co-education to Reception-year 6, planned from September 2025. This will underpin a strategy to expand total pupil numbers across the whole school by around 100 pupils over the next few years. The new appointee will play a central role in this strategy.
This is a key leadership role which sits on the Executive team, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the school while supporting the Head of School in implementing the school’s strategic vision. This role requires a dynamic, approachable, and highly organised individual who can manage the smooth functioning of the school, inspire staff and students, and foster a positive school culture.

About Abbot's Hill School
Abbot’s Hill is an all through, inclusive independent day school with the Nursery, Prep and Senior Schools on the same site. We welcome boys and girls in our Nursery and girls from 3-16 years.
Set in 76 acres of rolling Hertfordshire parkland with far reaching views across the Gade Valley, the school benefits from an open, expansive environment in which our pupils learn, explore and play. Pupils flourish here: the surroundings afford a safe-haven for discovery and experimentation while the energy and opportunity of London is only a stone’s throw away.
Founded over 100 years ago to educate young women of character, the school places great value on the development of the individual. Those girls lucky enough to come here will leave as confident, ambitious and creative individuals.
The ISI Inspection in January 2020 acknowledged Abbot’s Hill as ‘excellent’ in both the academic and personal development of the pupils – the highest judgement possible.
