Headteacher

Rutherford House School is a vibrant 2-form entry school in the very heart of Balham, South London. We believe that all children, regardless of their starting point or background, should have access to an excellent and wide-reaching education – and we achieve this within a supportive learning community. We are exceptionally proud of our school: it’s a place that inspires and engages children’s minds and hearts and where every individual has a voice that is heard and respected. 

Since opening in September 2013, we’ve ensured children are at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. As part of the Bellevue Place Education Trust, we believe passionately in a personalised approach to education, a curriculum that combines academic rigour with excellent enrichment opportunities.

Our new Headteacher will start with considerable advantages. This is a genuine (and rare) opportunity to lead a well-established and very successful school, poised to take the next step on its journey. You’ll lead a strong staff team, all committed to delivering great outcomes for our pupils, the unwavering support of BPET and most importantly, the most amazing pupils, who are ready to learn.

We are always interested and keen to hear from strong leaders. If you’d like to find out more about Rutherford House and the support you’ll receive from BPET, then we’d be delighted to hear from you.
