Job overview
We are looking for a resident matron to join our team.
Aldro is an outstanding coeducational boarding and day preparatory school located in the idyllic village setting of Shackleford near Godalming in Surrey.
The school is at a very exciting stage in its development. Girls were first admitted to Aldro in September 2021 and a girls’ boarding house was opened in September 2022. Numbers on roll will have grown by over 50% over the past two years, and the number of forms has correspondingly risen from 11 to 15 over the same period. The school is based on a three-form model from Form 5 and benefits from a flourishing Senior School (Years 7 and 8).
There are currently 230 pupils aged 7-13 in the school; approximately 80 of them board full-time, weekly or part-time. Pupils sit Common Entrance or Scholarships at 13+ in Year 8, and the school has an outstanding record of academic excellence. 45 Scholarships and Exhibitions have been won over the past three years. In the last couple of years, Aldro pupils have left to attend such schools as: Abingdon, Bradfield, Canford, Charterhouse, Churcher’s, Eton, Harrow, King Edward’s, Lancing, Lord Wandsworth, Marlborough, RGS Guildford, Sherborne, Tonbridge, Uppingham, Wellington and Winchester.
Aldro is also committed to a breadth of education for its pupils and excellent results are achieved in sport, music, drama, art, design and chess. The school runs an extensive activity programme ranging from pistol shooting to Lego robotics, and debating to pétanque! The curriculum is taught over six days each week, with a Weekend Leave approximately every third weekend. All staff are expected to make an active contribution to the wider life of the school.
The aim of the Matrons’ Team is to support the smooth running of the boarding house and to create a homely, happy and stable atmosphere. The Matron should be in sympathy with the ethos and aims of Aldro. The role operates across both the girls’ and boys’ boarding houses.
