Early application is encouraged as we are hoping to interview and appoint as soon as possible. School 21 reserves the right to close applications early and make an appointment at any stage.

School 21 is a pioneering 4 to 18 school in Stratford, East London that is developing a rich curriculum and a range of exciting pedagogies. This is your chance to lead a committed business team who believe in fostering critical thinking, analytical skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset, hence preparing students to navigate the complexities of the global economic landscape.
