Saxton Bampfylde

Our Schools’ Practice

Saxton Bampfylde is a leading global executive search and leadership advisory firm with a dedicated team working exclusively across schools and education. We support schools and trusts with headship, board and senior leadership searches, alongside board effectiveness reviews, coaching and assessment, a relationship that deepens with every engagement.

Our team brings together former school leaders, search consultants, and expert researchers with a shared instinct for exceptional leadership. We work with governors, trustees and boards across independent prep and senior schools, multi-academy trusts, state sector organisations, international schools and educational foundations, as well as education charities and specialist academies. Sitting within a wider firm of specialists across every sector, we regularly identify leaders whose outside experience turns out to be exactly what a school needs.

Every search is led by a dedicated researcher who goes deep, has better conversations and builds a rounded picture of each candidate, looking beyond familiar networks to actively seek leaders from underrepresented backgrounds. That reach extends through our Panorama partnership with 400 search experts embedded in local markets across the globe.
