Schools

We work across the United Kingdom’s schools sector, thinking beyond the obvious to find and develop proven and emerging leaders. We work with independent schools and school trusts at all stages of their journeys, and with the national organisations that support them. Our clients are united by a shared ambition to shape a better society. We support them to make senior leadership and Board appointments that last.

Clients choose us for our sophisticated advocacy to candidates, and because we commit to searching beyond the usual people, backed by our firm’s cross-sector network and cutting edge AI. Clients also choose us for our differentiated marketing, backed by our expert in-house team, and for our unique approach to candidate assessment that supports right fit, first time. We believe these elements combine to offer something distinctive at a time of considerable challenge for the UK schools sector.

GatenbySanderson offers much more than executive search. We offer leadership development beyond appointment that reflects best practice in people and strategic leadership, commercial and technological innovation, governance excellence, and regulatory compliance. GatenbySanderson’s wider work enables our schools team to provide insights beyond one sector. We support candidates as they move between sectors and we are relentless in our commitment to attracting diverse and innovative talent.
