Job overview

We seek a dynamic individual with exceptional communication and organisational skills to lead our Admissions Department.

Cranbrook is a popular selective day and boarding school with over 880 students in Years 7-13. It is generally over-subscribed on the day side, and recruitment on the boarding side is critical to the ethos and success of the School. The Registrar ensures that all places are filled and that prospective parents and those on the waiting list are kept well informed about progress with their applications. The successful candidate will therefore hold a key position in helping the Head deliver his vision for the next decade.

The Registrar will work closely with the Head, Bursar and Assistant Registrar, and liaise frequently with appropriate bodies at Kent County Council. They will manage the admissions process for all students from start to finish, including promotional activity, open events, testing, interviews and appeals for places.

For full details, please see the Information Pack, which includes the job description and person specification. The role is full time, all year round, including school holidays. 

Salary: £24,637 to £28,255, depending on experience. There are many benefits to working at Cranbrook including meals, access to our sports facilities, and priority admission for staff children from 2023. 

Candidates should feel free to book an informal conversation with the Head, Will Chuter, if they would like to discuss the role. Please email his PA, Brigitte Santer.

Deadline: 9th February, 5pm. Interviews: w/c 21st February.

Cranbrook School is a mixed state grammar school with 900+ pupils aged 11-18 years, including around 260 boarders. It was founded in 1518. Day pupils come from within 5.28 miles of the school, following a test to judge their suitability for a grammar school education. Boarders are admitted from a wide area, having sat the same test. Although it is a selective school, Cranbrook admits a wider ability range than many other grammar schools. We provide a challenging and supportive curriculum so that students of all abilities are catered for. The value-added scores that are achieved each year bear testimony to the success of our provision. 

Pupils join at the age of 11 or 13, and in Year 10 they start GCSEs in nine or ten subjects. Most students then qualify for the Sixth Form, this being supplemented by a healthy intake into Year 12 from other schools. All Sixth Formers take at least three A levels and can choose the EPQ and other qualifications in addition.

For a state school, the facilities are impressive. Within the seventy acres of school grounds are found the six boarding houses, the Queen’s Hall Theatre (used for assemblies, school productions, visiting theatre companies and concerts), a large library and lecture theatre. Sports facilities include a large sports hall, dance studio, cardio gym, weights room, heated outdoor swimming pool, squash courts and extensive playing fields and facilities for games - hockey, rugby, cricket, netball, tennis and athletics – as well as an astro-turf pitch. The school also possesses a Performing Arts Centre that houses a drama studio and music practice rooms, and a vibrant Sixth Form Centre. The school boasts an Observatory named after Dr Piers Sellers OBE, an Old Cranbrookian and NASA astronaut.
