Assistant Head of Girls Boarding

Windlesham House School is one of the country’s leading independent prep schools, set in a beautiful 65 acre country estate on the South Downs. The oldest prep school in the country (est. 1837), Windlesham House has always led the way in embracing the new.

This is a superb opportunity for an experienced and dynamic individual who will be acting in loco parentis for our boarding girls aged between 7 and 13. The successful applicant will show a commitment to their pastoral care, wellbeing and enjoyment of boarding.

The school currently has a strong girls boarding community of around 60 pupils, from Years 3 - 8. They are a mixture of UK and international boarders from diverse backgrounds, bringing an important and highly valued globalism to our wider school community of around 330 pupils in total.

As a full boarding school, the successful candidate will be required to work at weekends as well as during the week. The weekends provide a unique and rewarding opportunity to get to know the girls better and to have fun in a relaxed, homely environment, with games and activities planned and implemented by the boarding and weekend team.

The successful candidate will, along with the other boarding staff, evolve, market, and deliver an ambitious, dynamic, and progressive vision for the future of boarding at Windlesham House which has boarding development and expansion as a core aspect of its strategic planning.
