Fairley House School

Fairley House was established as the first school of its kind in 1982, and it remains London’s leading day school for supporting children with the specific learning differences of dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia. It is a happy and vibrant co-educational school that has grown significantly over the last 40 years, now offering provision from Key Stage 2 all the way up to a uniquely tailored GCSE programme in Year 11. Fairley families invariably talk about the incredible, and almost immediate, positive impact the school has on their children’s enthusiasm to learn and succeed both in and out of the classroom.

The Fairley House School Board of Governors are now looking for an outstanding Bursar, who can bring a strong operational management track record, commercial acumen, excellent communications skills and an empathetic style. A qualified accountant, they will lead on all non-educational aspects of the school. The Bursar will be responsible for all day-to-day and strategic financial, estates and operational matters at Fairley House School and Charity.  They will report in these respects directly to the Head and to the Board of Governors, and will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team.

The preferred candidate will bring superb leadership, management and people skills. With a strong understanding of strategic financial planning and implementation, as well as well-developed analytical skills, they will be excellent communicators and relationship builders. They will have an engaging style, with the energy and enthusiasm to ensure success.
