Job overview
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding and innovative Director of Sport, to lead a thriving, ambitious and highly successful sporting programme at Warwick Preparatory School. The role is full-time and permanent position with the responsibility of line managing members of the Prep PE department.
The successful candidate will be a specialist of PE with additional experience within hockey or netball to a high level. They will have experience in performing and/ or coaching at a high level in sport and work closely with the overarching Director of Sport at King’s High School to continue to advance the current provision and further establish the development of the sporting curriculum for all pupils from Nursery to Sixth form.
The current programme fosters a genuine love of learning and sport for all, whilst also ensuring pupils can perform at the highest level on a national stage. There is both breadth and excellence within sport at Warwick Preparatory School and King’s High School.
The successful candidate should be forward-thinking and have the energy and enthusiasm to drive sport forwards through both promotion and provision whilst embracing our whole school approach to critical thinking and love of learning.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced practitioner who possesses the vision and drive to obtain outstanding results whilst being fully inclusive in their approach. Although the position is strongly connected with the all-through Sports department (3-18), the role will be first and foremost, firmly allied with the bustling life and commitments of a Middle Leader within Warwick Preparatory School.
The role will report to Director of Sport (3 to18) and the Deputy Head at Warwick Preparatory School.

As you walk through the doors at Warwick Prep, you’ll discover an atmosphere that fosters an exceptional learning experience and encourages each individual pupil to be the very best he or she can be.
The success of our school is firmly built around the pursuit of excellence in all we do. Our pupils follow a broad, varied and challenging curriculum taught by a multi-talented and exceptionally committed staff. We are very proud of and keen to uphold our tremendous academic reputation both locally and far beyond, enabling children to fulfil their potential and be the best they can be.
While they are with us, we also want them to enjoy the most rounded learning experience possible. To that end, we offer great strength and depth in both team and individual sports; we provide rich and diverse musical opportunities; we organise a broad and engaging programme of visits and extra-curricular activities designed to widen their interests and skills. We recognise the unique talents and skills of each individual child and aim to foster a lifelong love of learning enabling them to run, play, imagine and thrive.
All this is undertaken against the backdrop of a modern, top-tier learning and sporting environment. We also benefit greatly from being part of something bigger – together with King's High School for Girls and Warwick School, we are one of the three ‘family’ schools which form the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation. This gives us access to further exceptional facilities including the Bridge House Theatre, a 25 metre indoor swimming pool and a lot more besides. We are a big school with all the benefits that scale brings, but as one parent memorably put it, "Warwick Prep makes big feel small."
I hope you enjoy your look through our website. It gives a taste of the kind of school we are and the qualities and values that underpin everything we do. But the way to fully appreciate what really makes Warwick Prep such a vibrant, dynamic, happy and special place is to pay us a visit. Do visit us on an Open Day or arrange a personal tour of the school with me. I very much look forward to meeting you.
