Bilton Grange is an ambitious and successful school which values its community. It is now seeking to appoint a dynamic and positive individual as Deputy Head to join the leadership team and embrace its next phase of exciting development.
The successful candidate will role-model the School’s values and provide inspiration for colleagues and pupils alike.
The Deputy Head is responsible for supporting the Head in all aspects of running the school and as such needs to be suitably qualified, experienced, enthusiastic and ambitious with strong management and leadership skills. This post offers an exceptional opportunity for a high-calibre candidate to work in a forward-thinking school with superb colleagues and acquire the necessary experience to gain further promotion to Headship in the future.
Bilton Grange is a happy, flourishing and successful Prep School set in 90 acres of beautiful grounds just south of Rugby. In 2020 it merged with Rugby School and is now part of the Rugby Schools Group. Pupil numbers have never been higher. In September 2022 there will be over 380 boys and girls, boarding and day, in the school aged between 3 and 13 and the school’s distinguished history is continuing to evolve. In August 2022 we opened Little Grange Nursery, placing a further 80 children under our watchful care and guidance. The current Head has been in post since September 2021 and in March 2022 we were successful in our ISI Compliance Inspection.
Whilst previous experience of boarding schools is not a pre-requisite, applicants should be aware of the busy term-time existence a role in such a school involves and be open-minded as to how such a learning community is at its most effective by everyone contributing wholeheartedly to supervision, activities outside the classroom and school trips. The school is committed to providing a first-class working environment for its staff; it has recently introduced a new Professional Development Review system and is launching a new EDI Committee this September. The School benefits from outstanding operational and administrative support, has a very collegiate common room and a healthy collaboration with colleagues at Rugby School.
Accommodation may be available if required.
