Job overview
Head
Full-time • Permanent
Required for September 2018 or before
Due to the retirement of Mrs Stephanie Bell after twelve years of exceptional service, the Governors seek to appoint a loving, forward-thinking, innovative and visionary leader with a proven background of leadership and senior management in the Preparatory/Primary sector. The successful candidate will embrace the special ethos of the school and take it into the future.
This role requires someone who is a practising Catholic. The Governors are looking for a sound educationalist and outward-facing ambassador, who delights in and nurtures every single member of the School community as part of the ‘Rydes Hill Family.’
Founded in 1945 by the Daughters of Mary and Joseph, the ownership of the School was transferred to a Charitable Trust in 1989, established by parents for the primary purpose of providing an education for Catholic children. Rydes Hill Preparatory School, located in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of Guildford, welcomes children of all denominations, faiths and cultures whilst remaining true to its Catholic identity. This ethos rooted in the Gospel values has created an exceptional, well-balanced and warm school where children are given the very best start to enable them to grow up to lead fulfilled and happy lives.
St Iranaeus: ‘The Glory of God is a fully alive human.’
Deadline for applications: 10am on Friday, 5th May 2017.

Rydes Hill Preparatory School and Nursery – “The best start in life”.
Rydes Hill is a warm and friendly, non-selective Independent Catholic School which welcomes all denominations, boys from 3-7 years and girls from 3-11 years. Rydes Hill has a single stream entry with around 200 pupils from Nursery (age 3) to Year 6. The School is located in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of Guildford with an architecturally fine Georgian building.
The School was founded in 1945 by the Daughters of Mary and Joseph. In 1989 the ownership was transferred to a Charitable Trust, which was established by parents at the time specifically for the purpose of continuing the excellent work of the Foundation Order.
The School has a highly supportive Governing Body and an enthusiastic and talented staff team with very low staff turnover. The School is noted for its happy family atmosphere and encourages and values its partnership with parents. There is a thriving Parents’ Association which organises a number of social and fundraising events throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of community within the School.
The School’s record in placing girls in prestigious Senior Schools in the country is well-established. This year’s Year 6 of 22 girls gained 12 scholarships to Senior Schools.
The last Inspection Report rated the School excellent in every category. The current Head is retiring after 12 very happy years at Rydes Hill.
