Bishop’s Stortford College is a leading, academically selective, co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 3 to 18. We provide a world-class education rooted in the core values of belonging, scholarship, and character. Our aim is to achieve outstanding academic results, sporting excellence, and personal development for every pupil within a child-centred, inclusive environment that combines our rich heritage with a forward-looking approach to independent education.
Renowned for its tradition of academic excellence and holistic development, the College provides a nurturing and aspirational environment where every student is encouraged to succeed. The Senior School (ages 13–18) is organised around ten pastoral houses, each equipped with dedicated facilities. Four of these houses serve both boarding and day students. Boarding remains a vital part of the College’s ongoing success. The diversity and enrichment it offers are essential to our sense of community, whilst also accounting for nearly a third of the College’s revenue. Over the past decade, the College has invested more than £15 million in boarding facilities, emphasising the importance placed on maintaining boarding. Three of the four boarding houses are now recognised as among the best in their sector, offering luxurious accommodation for all boarders.
The College is now looking for a dynamic and innovative individual to join our Extended Leadership Team (ELT) and Senior School Senior Management Team (SMT) as the Director of Boarding. The ELT is the strategic body responsible for overseeing the SMTs of the Prep and Senior Schools. This newly established role underscores our dedication to improving boarding within the College and offers a unique opportunity to influence the development of our boarding services.
