Head

Dumpton is a thriving, independent, co-educational, day Prep and Pre-Prep School from Nursery to Year 8.  Located in 29 acres of beautiful Dorset countryside and boasting outstanding facilities, the School’s vision for a child's education encompasses the development of mind, body and character.  Excellent teaching and outstanding pastoral care, confirmed by Inspection Reports, contribute to the first-class education that the School provides. Our Christian ethos and stimulating environment aim to ensure that each child is well-grounded socially, academically, in sport and in the arts, and, as we prepare children for entry to their senior schools at 13, they have the opportunity to experience the benefits of responsibility at the top of a prep school. 

The Governors seek candidates with strong personal qualities as well as proven skills in leadership, management and administration for the post of Head for September 2019 to succeed Andrew Browning after 14 years of distinguished headship.

Dumpton enjoys an excellent reputation as a highly successful Prep School with a rich heritage, and the Governors wish to appoint an exceptional candidate who can develop that reputation and lead the School to an exciting and illustrious future.

An excellent package, including accommodation and other benefits, is available for the successful candidate and reflects the importance of the position.
