An internationally recognised specialist independent school and UK-registered charity (Gard'ner Memorial Ltd), More House School is the largest and leading school for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. With an 85-year history, the School has seen rapid growth in pupil numbers over the last thirty years, from 65 to 500, and has repeatedly been graded Outstanding in five successive Ofsted inspections over the past decade. Located on a 30-acre estate in Frensham, on the edge of the Surrey Hills AONB, the School provides residential boarding and day places to a mix of privately-funded and local authority-funded pupils from across the South-East and beyond, and delivers a programme of outreach support and training to schools and educational trusts in both the independent and state-maintained sectors. This is an exciting time; the School is planning its next phase of its Frensham campus development, ensuring the quality of facilities and pupil experience for the future, and is exploring potential opportunity for significant expansion, so that many more children and young people can access our unique model of education, especially girls. The new role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) will support the Headmaster in implementing the new strategy ensuring strong financial planning and continuous development of the School's supporting operations in a cost-effective manner.
