Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about careers at girls' schools

Girls' schools offer diverse career opportunities including teaching positions across all age ranges (pre-prep through sixth form), pastoral care roles, leadership positions, administrative jobs, support staff positions, and operational roles. Our member schools are committed to empowering girls through education and seek professionals who share this vision.

Girls' schools typically offer competitive salary packages, comprehensive pension schemes, professional development opportunities, and excellent working environments. Many schools provide additional benefits such as fee remissions for staff children, healthcare schemes, and extensive CPD programmes focused on girls' education and pedagogical innovation.

Girls' schools typically serve students from age 3/4 through to 18, spanning nursery, pre-prep, prep, senior school, and sixth form. Many schools have co-educational pre-prep departments accepting boys up to age 7 or 11, before transitioning to girls-only education. Each school's specific age ranges are detailed in their job listings.

Working at a girls' school offers the opportunity to be part of an educational environment specifically designed to empower young women. These schools focus on building confidence, leadership skills, and academic excellence in girls, often with innovative approaches to STEM education, leadership development, and fostering voice and agency in young women.

Girls' schools value relevant educational qualifications, teaching experience, and a commitment to girls' education. They particularly welcome candidates with experience in single-sex education, understanding of girls' learning styles, and passion for empowering young women. Leadership experience and innovative teaching approaches are highly valued across all roles.
