Job overview
HEAD
Epping, Essex, CM16 7PE
This appointment is for September 2024.
Coopersale Hall School, Epping, is looking to appoint a new, inspirational Head to build on the school’s recent success and to lead it into the next phase of its development. This privately owned co-educational independent school forms part of the Oak-Tree Group, a small but powerful collection of local independent schools, operated with the same aims of excellence and care.
The Group is looking for an inspirational leader to work with the school’s experienced Senior Leadership Team, the Heads of the other Oak-Tree schools and Head Office; someone to share their ambition, not only for the success of Coopersale Hall but also for the wider Oak-Tree Group.
The successful candidate will be a proven strategic manager with a clear vision for improving the school’s effectiveness and raising standards and expectations; they will be highly motivated to inspire and develop their colleagues’ skills and committed to providing the highest standards of teaching for all children. Like most schools Coopersale Hall prides itself on its excellent pastoral care, but more than that, the school values its close working relationship with the parents, which helps to ensure that the pupils become capable, caring, responsible, and enthusiastic young people who have the ambition and opportunity to make a positive difference to the world.
The school recently opened a new senior department as part of a £2m project to expand its provision up to age 16 and welcomed its first cohort of Year 7 pupils into a new facility that offers an Art/DT Studio, Science Lab, ICT Room and classroom. Phase 2 will start in 2024 and will provide an additional 4 classrooms and changing rooms.
Staffing levels have been increased continually and there has been significant investment in resources and infrastructure. This is a forward-thinking school where change for the better is embraced.
This is both an exciting and hugely rewarding challenge for the right person, with a level of support seldom available in this type of role, working within a small group of schools with an enviable reputation and a hunger to succeed.
If you believe you have the leadership skills, personal qualities, drive, and vision necessary to lead Coopersale Hall School, then we very much look forward to hearing from you.

Coopersale Hall is a privately-owned independent preparatory school in Epping, South-West Essex, for around 300 boys and girls aged 2 to 16.
We offer a high standard of education and a fulfilling learning experience in a happy, secure and caring environment. With an emphasis on courtesy, manners and respect, we allow pupils to fulfil their potential by working together for the benefit of each other. We nurture, praise and encourage.
Coopersale Hall’s extensive buildings and grounds are steeped in history. The main Grade 2 listed building is a stunning mansion house set in some seven acres of beautiful grounds, lawns and playing areas.
In 1988 Coopersale Hall was acquired by the Hagger family and the School was opened in April 1989. A rapid modernisation and expansion programme followed. A converted Orangery-ballroom has become the School’s Assembly Hall and the cottage in the grounds houses some of our infant and junior classes. From the York stone terrace at the back of the Hall, a path leads to the adventure playground, Astroturf pitch, infants’ play area and landscaped gardens.
A phased introduction of senior school pupils began in September 2023 with an exciting new senior building currently in development.
Coopersale Hall School forms part of the Oak-Tree Group of Schools, which includes, Oaklands School in Loughton and Normanhurst School in North Chingford. A group of local independent schools, all four are operated with the same aims of excellence and care.
Values and Vision
Academically, we encourage our children to aim high and to have the confidence to learn new skills and interests. The broad range of activities both inside and outside the classroom provides a rich environment where all children can discover hidden aptitudes and talents.
We emphasise the acquisition of social skills and encourage respect and consideration for others at all times. This helps children to understand the needs of others. Good manners, respect for others and self discipline are fundamental aspects of the core values we teach.
We aim to provide a broad curriculum with a variety of activities that offer stimulating opportunities in which pupils can develop lively, enquiring minds as well as individual talents
