Head of Truro School Prep

The Governors and Head of Truro School are seeking to appoint a dynamic Head of Truro School Prep from September 2022 to lead one of the most successful and vibrant 3-11 Prep Schools in the South West of England.

The School has recently launched a new, ambitious, five year Strategic Plan that includes forward-thinking commitments to explore and enhance not simply educational excellence, but also the wellbeing and personal development of children and staff alike. There are also plans to evolve communication and collaboration with our many valued partners, current and future, to invest in the quality and stewardship of our immediate and wider environment in terms of its sustainability, technology, and cultures of equality, inclusion and community benefit.

The School seeks to appoint a dynamic Head who is able to build on strength, to enhance, evolve, and market a flourishing and forward-thinking Prep School community within our superb Cornish setting. 

The successful applicant will be excited to work within a through-school framework of values, ambition, strategy, and support, whilst having the strength of character to shape, guide and embellish an autonomous Prep School community that is proud of its own identity. They will be able to maintain positive and progressive collaboration with the wider Methodist and educational community. They will be ambitious to evaluate and evolve the Prep School’s curriculum, co-curriculum and pastoral care to further excite current and prospective parents through its ability to develop young people who are confident in themselves, curious about the world around them, creative in their outlook, have the courage to enjoy learning, and are compassionate in their interactions with others.
