Our 1,530 students aged 4-18 enjoy a rich educational experience which inspires a love of learning and confidence for life.
We now seek an outstanding advancement professional to join our school as Kellett’s inaugural Director of Fundraising and Partnerships. This is an exciting opportunity to shape our success as we enter an ambitious new chapter. Our new Principal and CEO, Paul Tough, joined us in April 2024 and we are embarking on the creation of a bold new strategy for our development over the next decade. Reporting directly to the Principal and CEO, the new Director of Fundraising and Partnerships will be an important addition to our high performing Senior Leadership Team and will play a pivotal role in enabling us to achieve our ambitions.
