Deputy Head Academic Required Sept ‘21 Deputy Head Academic Required Sept ‘21 Edgeborough An Introduction from the Head A hugely exciting opportunity is available for an outstanding, warm, committed, hard- working and driven individual to lead the academic development at Edgeborough from September 2021. I am looking for a person bursting with energy, enthusiasm, ambition and warmth. Above all I seek someone with not only a passion for education but also who inspires those around them to provide the very best academic offering for pupils of all abilities. I am searching for someone to join the team who will enjoy helping to put together and implement an academic strategy that builds on the excellent progress made here in recent years. I would also like to find a colleague who will bring laughter and humanity, who will be kind to the community while also being able to tell home truths when necessary, who isn’t pompous or arrogant, who loves the company of people and who is great fun to be around. If this is you then I look forward to hearing from you in the months ahead! Yours, Dan Thornburn An Introduction to Edgeborough Edgeborough is an outstanding co-educational Preparatory School with approximately 355 pupils aged between 2 and 13. The School was founded in 1906 as a small, privately owned boarding school for boys and was registered as a charitable trust in 1966. The School became co-educational in 1992. The Pre- Prep and Nursery have been added subsequently. The School is set in 50 acres of beautiful, rolling Surrey countryside in Frensham. It is extremely well resourced both in terms of buildings and staff. Facilities include a Sports Hall, Theatre, Music, Art, DT and Dance studios, state of the art Science and ICT facilities, Swimming Pool, an outstanding Boarding House and a large Astro-turf. The pupils are polite and respectful, energetic and confident, while the teachers harness this enthusiasm with creative lessons and a friendly approach. Subject specific experts teach lessons in the Prep School while in the Pre-Prep pupils learn through exciting discoveries, entertaining topics and well structured lesson plans. The School boasts an award-winning, in-house catering team. An exemplary Boarding House offers a nurturing home away from home. The Music, Arts and Design Technology departments encourage talent to win regular prizes and the dedicated sports staff have the enthusiasm to motivate each pupil to find a love of exercise and a healthy way of living alongside earning regular regional and national success. Investment in buildings, facilities and staffing provide a first class foundation for an exceptional school. Edgeborough is non-selective. Pupils enjoy small classes and excellent teaching. There is a very successful Learning Support Department which gives provision to those who need support whilst fine tuning the learning of those who are most able. The School enjoys a very strong reputation and is well-known for the successful preparation of boys and girls for entry to some of the country’s finest Senior Schools. These include: Bradfield College, Canford, Charterhouse, Churcher’s College, Cranleigh, Eton College, RGS Guildford, Guildford High School, Harrow, Lord Wandsworth College, Marlborough College, Monkton Combe, Prior’s Field, Radley, St Catherine’s Bramley, St Swithun’s, Wellington College and Winchester College. Overall entrance results are high and a large number of pupils have been successful in gaining scholarships throughout the disciplines. More than anything else, however, our philosophy here is that happy children will thrive and succeed and our aim, therefore, is to faciliate a warm, nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe and happy. Why work at Edgeborough? Edgeborough is one of Surrey’s top Prep Schools and is a fantastic environment in which to work. The staff room is a warm, friendly and vibrant place with everyone pulling together in their quest to keep Edgeborough right at the forefront of Prep School education in the UK. Never has its warmth and camaraderie been so important, and so noticeable, as now. This is a brilliant opportunity to become a leading member of a dynamic and hard-working team, full of people who are really committed to providing a first-class education for the children here. This appointment is part of a wider restructuring of the management of the school and, as such, comes at a really exciting time for us. There is a very positive buzz about Edgeborough which has resulted in significant growth recently – pupil numbers are up by 20% in three years in spite of COVID and the testing educational, economic and political climates. This is a very exciting opportunity for an ambitious candidate to join a successful enterprise and to really help define the future, both for Edgeborough and for themself personally. Working as part of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the Deputy Head Academic (DHA) will guide and support the Head in continuing to implement his vision which aims to see Edgeborough rise to the very top of the independent Prep School sector in the UK. Alongside a fantastic staff room, Edgeborough is also very lucky to have an experienced and supportive Board of Governors who help ensure that the School’s obligations as a Charitable Trust are met. Edgeborough is also in excellent financial health, is in an affluent catchment area and enjoys some fantastic buildings and wonderful grounds that make up its estate. Indeed it is regarded as one of the most beautiful Prep School settings in the country. In short, the staff and pupils feel very lucky to be part of the Edgeborough community and this vacancy offers the chance for the right person to not only join our fantastic school but also to help shape the way that Edgeborough continues to thrive long into the future. We are not complacent - Edgeborough is a great school but there is plenty more still to do and the new DHA will play a key role in helping us in our continual quest for improvement.
