Does Welham Girls' School help with relocation from another city?

How do I write an application email for this HOD Commerce role?

Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line "HOD Commerce application — Welham Girls' School"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Welham Girls' School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans.

Is there a probation period?

Can I negotiate the salary at Welham Girls' School?

Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities.

I'm serving notice — should I still apply?
