Head of Preparatory School 

Beechwood Sacred Heart School is a forward thinking, inclusive and caring Catholic co-educational, independent, day, weekly and boarding school with 360 pupils on roll (between 3 years and 18 years). Beechwood is justifiably proud of its Catholic ethos, it is an international school and welcomes all faiths. Its tradition of ‘bringing out the very best’ in each and every pupil, setting standards in all round achievement and genuinely being a ‘happy place to be’ has endured and ensured generational support.  Beechwood became co-educational in 2008 and now provides an outstanding education for boys and girls, both boarding and day. With its integral preparatory school, it provides continuous education for the whole age range from 3 to 18 years with pupils joining the senior school at age 11. Our boarding community is 70 strong and draws pupils from 14 different nationalities.     

Significant investment has taken place in recent years to modernise boarding and redevelop parts of the site. The School has an ambitious estates development plan which will see further investment in the next three years.   

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in developing all of the above. Full details of the school, including curriculum and public exam results, are available at www.beechwood.org.uk.  Excellent ISI report 2018.
