Head of College

Rendcomb College is an award-winning co-educational day and boarding school for over 400 pupils situated on a 230-acre site in the heart of the Cotswolds, surrounded by beautiful woodland and wildlife. Everyone who visits Rendcomb is immediately struck by the setting and feel of the school: centred on a beautiful country house on the top of a hill with stunning views over the surrounding Cotswolds countryside, it exudes a noticeable very warm atmosphere and welcome, which is much appreciated by pupils and staff alike.

As a small school Rendcomb prides itself on its ability to provide a tailored education for every pupil and its families. It is proudly holistic in approach but also puts academic success and progress at its core to ensure that every pupil is thoughtful, adventurous and ambitious. Pupils understand what it is to be part of the Rendcomb Family and find their place within a supportive community.

The Governing Body of Rendcomb College seeks a leader to champion and enhance the school’s ethos and educational offering. This is an ideal first Headship, although experienced Heads are welcome to apply. The successful candidate will work closely with a supportive Board and Leadership Team to guide Rendcomb through its next phase, leveraging the school’s unique strengths and family-like atmosphere.

The new Head will need to balance academic achievement with a holistic approach, where all pupils are stretched and supported on an individual basis. They will understand the importance of marketing and be commerciality minded, but first and foremost will be a passionate educator and committed to the mission and vision of Rendcomb College.
