BILTON GRANGE DUNCHURCH, RUGBY, WARWICKSHIRE

Bilton Grange is a happy, flourishing and successful boarding and day Prep School set in 90 acres of beautiful grounds just south of Rugby. There are over 315 boys and girls in the school aged between 3 and 13 and an exciting new chapter in the school’s history is evolving, following our recent merger with Rugby School.

We wish to appoint for September 2020:

DIRECTOR OF DRAMA

We are looking for an outstanding practitioner of Drama, in terms of both directing and producing plays and curricular lessons, to become a key part of the Bilton Grange team. The successful candidate will be capable of inspiring children across the Key Stages to enjoy Drama whilst having high expectations of and inculcating the necessary rigour in those children who aspire to take their acting to the next level. Many children undertake Speech & Drama lessons each week and our pupils have performed in some memorable productions on the stage of our well-equipped Ravenscroft Theatre; several children have won Drama Scholarships to Rugby School and other leading independent schools in recent years.

The Drama department benefits from the presence of a very experienced technical theatre specialist who would support the Director of Drama. Fee remission is available for any qualifying children of the successful candidate and accommodation may be available.

Further details can be obtained from the School website or the Headmaster’s PA at [email protected].

Closing Date: 26 February 2020 at noon

Bilton Grange School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure & Barring Service.
