Our broad and ambitious curriculum is designed to develop confident, capable young people who make meaningful contributions to society.

Following our recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, Pinner High School has maintained 'Outstanding' standards. Inspectors highlighted our “strong, aspirational spirit” and praised our staff’s dedication, noting they “go above and beyond” to support pupils. Staff at all levels contribute to school improvement and feel valued and supported, reflecting our positive, collegiate culture.

We are seeking a dynamic and visionary Assistant Headteacher to join our expanding Senior Leadership Team. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of our thriving school community and lead key strategic areas. We are open to aligning the role with your expertise, which may include Curriculum Implementation, Inclusion, AI and Future Technologies, Pastoral/Safeguarding, Assessment, Academic Research, Coaching, and Growing Teams. We value innovation and calculated risk-taking.

We believe the next generation of leaders must be agile, reflective, and possess a broad leadership skill set to navigate the rapidly evolving educational landscape with confidence, creativity, and compassion.

Our academic outcomes are strong: in 2024, 34% of GCSE grades were 7 or above, with a Progress 8 score of +0.72 and an Attainment 8 score of 57.6. Our A-level results also exceed expectations. Education at Pinner High extends beyond exams, fostering student flourishing through co-curricular activities, pastoral care, and character development. Our expanding sixth form plays a vital role in school life, empowering students to lead and contribute.

We are committed to staff development within our collaborative culture. As part of our team, you will access high-quality training, secondment opportunities, a three-week Christmas break, and free gym access.
