Overview
Seaford College is seeking an exceptional educational leader to serve as Head of this thriving coeducational day and boarding school, set within 450 acres of beautiful South Downs parkland. After thirteen transformational and exceptional years under the current Head John Green’s leadership, this presents a wonderful opportunity to build upon solid foundations while shaping the next chapter of Seaford's distinctive story.
The successful candidate will lead a school that is proudly academically non-selective, where success is measured by how far each individual progresses rather than league table position. With the motto "Love to Learn" at its heart, Seaford offers world-class pastoral care alongside academic excellence, ensuring every child is known, valued and supported to flourish in their own way. The new Head will inherit a school that is operationally strong and financially secure, with an engaged community and clear sense of purpose — providing an excellent platform for ambitious leadership.
We seek a visible, hands-on leader who embodies Seaford's family school values and can champion innovation whilst preserving what makes the College special. The ideal candidate will have significant senior leadership experience in education, preferably in the independent sector, with an authentic commitment to nurturing an inclusive community where every student can discover their passions and achieve their personal best.
