Job description

Governors at St Augustine’s Priory are seeking a new head from September 2027 following the planned retirement of the present head.

St Augustine’s Priory is a school with a distinctive spirit: Augustinian in foundation, ambitious in outlook and deeply committed to the formation of young people from Nursery to Sixth Form. Its motto, Veritas, expresses a commitment to truth, faith, intellectual formation and personal growth. Catholic life is central to the School’s identity, and our community is inclusive and welcoming to families of all faiths and none.

St Augustine’s Priory is located on Hillcrest Road, Ealing, London W5 2JL. It enjoys a beautiful and distinctive setting within West London, combining access to the cultural, professional and transport advantages of London with the benefit of a spacious 13-acre campus.

This is an attractive opportunity for an experienced school leader who is drawn to strong foundations, deep loyalty, strong academic performance and considerable potential. The next Head will preserve the warmth and values of St Augustine’s Priory while continuing to strengthen its market position, build pupil numbers and embed coeducation in the younger years. For the right Head, this is a place of exciting possibilities: a school with the confidence to celebrate what is already strong and the ambition and innovation to further develop its story.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 6 October 2026 at 10.00am UK time.
