Streatham & Clapham High School is seeking an outstanding Head of Admissions
Streatham & Clapham High School is seeking an outstanding Head of Admissions to lead the admissions journey across our Prep and Senior school, from a parent's first enquiry through to a girl's first day with us. This is a role with genuine influence: you will shape our admissions strategy alongside the Director of Marketing & Communications, contribute to senior leadership discussions on recruitment and retention, and report on your impact to the Head, the GDST and governors.
You will be championing a school with a warm, family ethos and an excellent academic record, where girls thrive from Nursery through to Sixth Form. With the backing of the Girls' Day School Trust, recent investment in our facilities and a collaborative Marketing & Admissions team, you will have the support and platform to make a real difference. The breadth of the role, spanning strategy, data and CRM insight, events, international admissions and the leadership of two Admissions Officers, offers excellent scope to grow your career in the independent sector.
