Job opportunity - Headteacher of Notre Dame Preparatory School in Cobham
Notre Dame School
Cobham, Surrey
HEAD OF THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL
233 pupils aged 2 to 11 years
On the retirement of Miss Merinda D’Aprano after twenty-three years of dedicated, highly successful service (with four years as Head), the Governors of Notre Dame School are seeking to appoint a new Head of Notre Dame Preparatory School (including Nursery) from January 2019.
Notre Dame School is a Roman Catholic independent day school for 560 pupils aged from 2–18. The School is set in twenty-four acres of stunning parkland beside the River Mole in Cobham, Surrey.
The Governors are looking for an exceptional leader committed to equipping young people for life, not just for the next stage of their education, providing a broad curriculum which inspires a love of learning.
Within a caring, Christian community, the practicing Catholic candidate should wholeheartedly promote values of love, justice, tolerance, respect, honesty, service and trust and encourage positive relationships throughout the School, ensuring the safety and welfare of each child.
The success of Notre Dame has benefited greatly from the close relationship between the Senior School and the Prep School. Reporting directly to the Governors, the new Prep School Head will work very closely with the Senior School Head.
