Job Title

SummaryHarris Westminster Sixth Form is seeking an exceptional Principal to lead this nationally recognised academic institution from September 2026 or January 2027. The Sixth Form was created with a clear and ambitious purpose: to bring together academic excellence and social mobility on an unprecedented scale. We are now looking for a leader who shares this ambition and can guide the school into its next chapter of success and innovation. As a selective Sixth Form with a deliberately broad intake, Harris Westminster attracts some of the most motivated and high‑potential students from across London. Many join us as the first in their family to aspire to top universities, and they flourish in an environment that challenges them intellectually while supporting them to excel. Our record of progression to leading universities reflects both the calibre of our students and the expertise, commitment, and passion of our staff. Centrally located in Westminster, our Sixth Form benefits from an environment rich in opportunity. Partnerships, lectures, cultural institutions, and professional networks sit quite literally on our doorstep, enabling staff and students to extend learning far beyond the classroom. This unique context makes Harris Westminster an inspiring place to work, lead, and shape the future of young people with extraordinary potential. As Principal, you will lead approximately 600 students and a highly skilled team of staff who share a strong commitment to academic excellence and social equity. You will have the opportunity to further develop the school’s distinctive identity, strengthen its partnerships, and sustain the culture of aspiration that has made Harris Westminster such an influential and respected part of London’s educational landscape. This is a rare opportunity to lead a Sixth Form with both national profile and a powerful moral purpose.
