The College is seeking to appoint a practising Roman Catholic who is a charismatic, approachable leader with skills and experience to lead the Prep School staff with vision for the future and inspire the pupils to achieve their best in all areas.
The Headmaster, Mr Jonathan Reddin, invites applications for the post of Head of Preparatory School
and EYFS, which becomes available from September 2025 or January 2026.
The successful candidate will need to demonstrate the ability to lead and manage the staff in all aspects of
Preparatory School life, reporting directly to the Headmaster or Senior Deputy Head (staffing, curriculum
and timetable). He/she will be taking over a very successful area of the College which received excellent
comments from the ISI inspection of 2022 and which, in turn, provided a strong base on which to build for
the next three years.
The Head of the Preparatory School is responsible to the Headmaster for the efficient and effective
running of the School. The Senior Deputy Head of the Senior School, on behalf of the Headmaster,
exercises a general oversight of the Preparatory School, and supports the work of the Head of
Preparatory School.
The College is seeking to appoint a baptised, practising Roman Catholic who is a charismatic,
approachable leader with the skills and experience to lead the Preparatory School staff positively and
with vision for the future; inspire the pupils to achieve their best in all areas; and meet and manage
parents’ expectations effectively. As well as ensuring that the students achieve their full potential, we want
to ensure that the curriculum is modern, challenging and cutting-edge. Although there is an entrance
examination from the Preparatory School to the Senior School, it is particularly important that there
remains coherence between Years 5/6 and 7/8, and that the teaching and subject matter adequately
prepares Preparatory School children for the Senior School.
