Our people
Across our schools, we have developed a collaborative approach to leadership. Each Head leads their own school, whilst also engaging with colleagues to be leaders for the whole Foundation.
Stephen Perse Foundation is partnering with Nurole, the leading board-level search specialist, to find new Governors. You can find out more and apply here. To arrange an informal conversation or in case of any other queries, please contact huching.mao@nurole.com.
