Intellego Education

Intellego Education, led by distinguished educationalist, Dr Stephen Spurr, is building a high-quality family of premium schools in Europe. As part of this strategy, Intellego Education has formed a partnership with a top UK independent school.

The intent is to open schools in several European capital cities to complement Intellego’s schools in other locations. The first school under this partnership will open in Madrid in September 2026.  Accordingly, Intellego and its partner school are seeking an inspirational, charismatic and ambitious Head to lead the school and be available to join by or before January 2026.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior leader to set up, and shape the development of, a brand-new K-12 school in the centre of Madrid.

We are looking to appoint a Head with the energy and vision to grow this school into a world-class academic institution. The campus is already in existence, and a nearby premium bilingual nursery and early years school, belonging to Intellego, will act as an initial feeder school.  The school will cater for pupils aged 5/6 to 18, leading to IGCSEs and the IB Diploma.

This opportunity would suit either a current Head, or an experienced senior leader, such as a Deputy Head, Vice Principal or Head of Senior School, who is now looking for their first step into headship. The successful candidate will combine a track record of highly successful leadership experience, developed in the UK and/or internationally, with the cultural awareness and global perspective to inspire an entire school community and manage diverse stakeholder relationships.
