Job overview
Bishopstrow College is seeking to appoint an experienced and highly capable Registrar, starting in October 2019.
The successful candidate will have overall responsibility for managing all aspects of the admissions process at Bishopstrow College and will work closely with the Director, Principal and Director of External Relations. S/He will report directly to one of the Directors.
This is an exciting time in the College’s development. Having acquired the College in August 2014, the Directors have continued to develop Bishopstrow, and have further ambitious plans for growth. The College currently enrols up to 80 students each term, but with the opening of a new classroom building in September 2014 and the addition of new boarding capacity, there is now scope to enrol more than 90 students per term. In addition, we have planning permission to build a new boarding house and activity hall, which is being reviewed for potential improvements.
Growth is expected to come from both the College’s existing key source markets, plus new markets, underpinned by the development of existing and new agent relationships, the development of relationships with destination schools in the UK, partnerships with schools overseas and a growing number of direct applications.
The newly appointed Registrar will bring energy and initiative, playing a key role in helping the College achieve its development objectives and the delivery of the Strategic Plan.
The post calls for a high level of customer care/service and/or relevant experience, an understanding of the world of independent education and excellent communication skills in dealing with people for whom English is not their first language.
The College
Established in 2006, Bishopstrow College is a leading, independent, International Boarding School, offering English language and academic pathway programmes to prepare international students, aged 7-17 years, for entry into top boarding schools in the UK and overseas.
The College operates as a traditional British boarding school, but with an innovative four-term academic year, with students enrolling in September, January, March and June. A fifth start date is also available in July. Students can enrol at the start of any term and are prepared as quickly as possible – in as little as one term and up to a year – until they are ready for entry into their mainstream school. All of the College’s students come from overseas, with China, Russia, Thailand and Japan being the key source markets currently.
The College’s programmes revolve around English language and academic preparation. Our students normally progress to some of the UK’s leading boarding schools. Teaching Partnerships, validated by UKVI are currently in place with 95 of these schools.

Values and vision
Bishopstrow provides an exciting and stimulating education through an integrated course, which both engages and challenges students at all stages of their intellectual development. Students leave Bishopstrow not only able to be in a classroom with native speakers, but also able to compete academically at all levels.
The school provides the foundations for independent learners who have a passion for life and learning. Every student is treated an individual, but it is also important for them to work as a team player, whether it is on the sports field, during a walk in the countryside, in the classroom, or participating in drama or music.
