Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a new Headteacher at a very exciting time: the school is set for a rebuild on the current site and a planned gradual increase in PAN of almost 50% by 2030 as part of the development of SEND provision in Surrey – this would give you the opportunity to be involved in the building project and take the school into a substantial period of growth and development.
Gosden House is a specialist MLD school and it is very “special” in many ways – it has a unique feel due to the site, which consists of a Grade 2 listed building, numerous outbuildings and over 40 acres of grounds including a walled garden and an orchard. We offer an imaginative and stimulating curriculum with individualised learning and ambitious targets for our learners.
We are looking for our future Headteacher to relish the challenge of an expanding school, with the opportunity to see through an ambitious building project and lead a bigger school into the future. This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person, and we would welcome visits from applicants.
Please look at the attached information pack to find out more about this exciting opportunity.

About Gosden House School
Gosden House School is a really happy community and a maintained special school for children between the ages of 4 and 16 years of age. The school caters for pupils with learning and additional needs (LAN), and other special educational needs, including language and communication. We were delighted to be awarded Ofsted Outstanding in December 2020.
We are incredibly lucky to be set in 40 acres with a mansion house, walled garden and beautiful grounds and we have supported children with learning difficulties and increasingly complex needs for over 60 years. Our reputation for both educational attainment and pastoral care is reflected in the retention of our ‘Outstanding’ grading by Ofsted earlier this year. Because of the wonderful setting we are in, we can ensure all our children can benefit from outdoor learning, creative play and really enjoying and learning from the environment.
Our ethos is built around a child centred approach to learning, one founded on high expectations and innovation. We have a wonderful supportive team and we aim to tailor strategies and approaches that will meet the needs of each child, supporting them in all aspects of their development, nurturing self-esteem, confidence and aspiration. We deliver a modified National Curriculum, with a strong focus on core literacy, numeracy and communication skills.
We are committed to working in partnership with families, professionals and all agencies to maximise the opportunities for each child.
