Job overview

Weston Green School is looking to appoint an outstanding Head to lead the School through its next stages of growth and development.

The current Head is moving on having spent four years growing the School into the success story it is today. The school is fully coeducational with around 200 pupils and a development plan and buildings that will allow it to grow to over 250. Established in 1987 and originally a pre-preparatory school, the school has been transformed over recent years and became a fully-fledged preparatory school with its first Year 6 cohort, in 2013 and a very successful recent ISI inspection. Now offering two form entry for Key Stage 2, by 2020 the school will offer two form entry throughout.

This represents a very exciting and unique opportunity to lead and further develop this family-orientated school with a reputation for excellence across every measure.

Through exceptional pastoral care, inspirational teaching and personalised learning, Weston Green builds a foundation that gives each child the confidence and skills they need to be the best they can be now and in the future. For one this might be academic studies, for another sport, whilst another might find their forte in music. At Weston Green School, all pupils have the opportunity to challenge themselves and to strive to achieve their full potential.

The new Head will have the personal qualities to inspire and motivate a supportive and talented teaching staff, as well as strong academic qualifications and previous experience of successful leadership and management. 

For further information about the role please contact Claire Kevin on 0208 939 3890 or email ckevin@blvue.com 

The closing date for applications is 5.00pm on Wednesday 29th November.

First interviews: 1st December

Final interviews: 6th December

Weston Green School is a 2 form entry independent preparatory school situated in Thames Ditton, Surrey. Our school is a special place where children grow and thrive to become independent and confident young people who achieve exceptionally well but also enjoy their experiences immensely and develop a life-long love of learning.

The School is fully coeducational, with up to 200 pupils. Established in 1987 and originally a pre-preparatory school, the school has been transformed over recent years and became a fully-fledged preparatory school.

The School’s buildings and facilities have undergone a number of recent developments, including a new Astroturf multi sports surface. A new Upper Prep building also opened in 2016, enabling the school to offer an exceptional education to more children with two form entry from Year 3 upwards. There are dedicated rooms for IT, Music, Art and Science, and a Library. The School offers wraparound care from 7.45am - 5.30pm and a Holiday Club run by an external company, during school holidays.

We believe that every child should enjoy their childhood and that learning should be challenging and fun throughout Prep-Prep, Lower Prep and Upper Prep.

The school prides itself on nurturing the individual talents and personalities of every pupil and academic standards at the school are high, with pupils receiving offers to a wide range of notable senior schools at 11+. 

Through being part of the Bellevue group, Weston Green benefits from shared best practice and focused training programmes covering all aspects of education. The school also receives specialist support in the areas of educational advice, finance, human resources and marketing, enabling the Headteacher to focus on the most important aspects of their work: delivering an education which enables every child to reach their full potential.
