About North London Collegiate School

We are delighted that you are considering joining North London Collegiate School. We offer  exceptional opportunities to contribute to a community that is redefining excellence in girls’ education. The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2026 has named NLCS the Independent Secondary School of the Year 2026, and we are proud to be ranked the No. 1 girls’ school in the country. This prestigious accolade reflects our outstanding academic achievement as well as the depth, breadth, and vibrancy of school life.

With additional awards for Independent International Baccalaureate School of the Year 2026 and Independent Secondary School of the Year in London 2026, NLCS offers an inspiring environment where passionate teachers are empowered to innovate, spark curiosity, and help girls achieve remarkable things.

NLCS educates over 1100 girls aged 4-18 on a beautiful 30 acre site in Edgware, North London. With a market-leading reputation for academic excellence, NLCS students enjoy an exceptional environment for learning through first-class teaching staff, exciting lessons and a broad and wide-ranging curriculum.

The beautiful grounds in which the buildings are set, unique for a London school, are part of the NLCS magic. This environment provides a rare quality of life and learning; the freedom for girls to explore safely and all the physical and health benefits that 30 acres of green space provide. Life at Canons is vibrant, friendly and very busy. Our girls develop self-esteem and confidence through our numerous extra-curricular activities, break and lunch time student-run clubs. Pastoral care is outstanding, and students thrive in a warm and welcoming community with a genuinely individualised approach.

The School’s central mission is to provide an innovative and ambitious education to enable every student to excel in a dynamic and rapidly changing world.

Why work with us?

At NLCS, we deeply value our staff and are committed to their well-being and professional growth. We understand that a supportive and nurturing environment is crucial for everyone, not just our students. Our comprehensive staff development programme and strong support network ensure that our staff thrive both professionally and personally. 

We appoint exceptional subject specialists who are outstanding teachers and who are passionate about teaching and supporting young people. They are assisted in their roles by a strong team of Support Staff.

We can offer:

  • A positive working environment within an extremely well-resourced school where excellent relationships between staff and students are the norm, expectations are high and students perform very well as a consequence.
  • A highly competitive salary structure based on, but substantially above, national scales. This role will be paid according to experience and qualifications.
  • The opportunity to develop professionally; improve and extend your knowledge; develop skills and experience; share outstanding and innovative practice; and contribute to the development of a challenging and supportive learning environment.
  • A strong supportive leadership team that prioritises student and staff health and well-being.
