The New School, based in South London, opened in September 2020, heavily oversubscribed, and at capacity with 46 young people aged 4 - 11. Most of these young people were previously home-schooled or not thriving in mainstream settings. Many had additional needs, often undiagnosed. The school plans to grow to 120 young people aged 4 - 16 by 2025.

But The New School is not “just” a school. Run on a sociodemocratic model, it is an independent charity committed to influencing wider practice in the UK through collaboration with peer organisations, as well as showcasing what works within their own practice. The charity have already begun this work, having secured two years full start-up funding and attracting national media attention and interest from policy makers and influencers.

The New School are now looking for a Chair who can help capitalise on the momentum of an exhilarating first year and take this charity from “start-up” to “established”.

The new Chair will be excited by a vision of an education system with youth voice and wellbeing at its heart. They may consider themselves to be an “insider outsider” - with some experience and networks within the education system but with a desire to break the mould and do something that really pushes boundaries.

Recruitment Timetable
