Queen’s Online School is a pioneering independent online school dedicated to delivering exceptional British education to students aged 7–18 across the UK and internationally. As part of Cambridge Online Education Ltd., we offer a supportive, high-quality learning environment tailored to individual student needs through small class sizes, experienced subject specialists, and a flexible, technology-driven approach.

Founded on the belief that every child deserves access to outstanding education regardless of their location or circumstances, Queen’s Online School is especially suited to students seeking a calm, focused, and friendly learning environment. Many of our pupils come to us from mainstream settings that didn’t meet their academic or emotional needs—and they thrive here.

We are on a mission to redefine online education by combining academic excellence with genuine pastoral care. Our dedicated team works closely with families to help every learner achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.

If you are passionate about transforming education and leading a school that values innovation, inclusivity, and student well-being, we invite you to join our growing team. The perfect candidate is confident, authentic and persuasive on video and in video calls. Candidates are asked to produce a 3-minute or less video invitation to families to join Queen's online school. Candidates will be shortlisted (in part) based on the strength of this video promotion. The production quality is not a factor as we can assist with this; we want to see if you can effectively promote the school.

Role Description

We are seeking a visionary and experienced Head Teacher to lead Queen’s Online School through its next exciting phase of growth. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a forward-thinking online school and make a lasting difference in the lives of young learners.

• Provide strategic leadership and direction across all aspects of the school.
• Oversee academic standards, safeguarding, and compliance with relevant educational regulations.
• Lead, support, and develop a team of qualified online teachers and pastoral staff.
• Foster a positive, inclusive, and nurturing school culture focused on student success and well-being.
• Work closely with parents and guardians to ensure effective communication and engagement.
• Drive innovation in online teaching methods and use of educational technologies.
• Collaborate with senior leaders at Cambridge Online Education Ltd. to achieve strategic goals and uphold the school’s ethos and reputation.
• Monitor and report on student progress, outcomes, and school performance.
• Represent and promote the school at online open days, events, and external stakeholder meetings.
