Head

Company: Wymondham College

Job title: Head

Job reference: LBQLA

Closing date: Wednesday 23rd October

Wymondham College, serving 1,450 pupils aged 11-18, is the largest state boarding school in the UK, with over 550 boarders. The boarding element adds a rewarding 24/7 dimension to school life. The College has a strong national reputation, with 'Outstanding' Ofsted ratings for both education and boarding in October 2023. Recent accolades include the World Class Schools Quality Mark and the 2021 National Secondary School of the Year at the National Teaching Awards.

The College is a founding member of the Sapientia Education Trust (SET), which has expanded to include 20 schools, including Wymondham College Prep School, co-located on our campus. This unique setup provides an opportunity to develop a seamless 4-18 provision across a single site.

The exciting and unique blend of young people from both local and international students is one of the many reasons why Wymondham College is such a dynamic, successful and fascinating place to be. Part of this uniqueness comes from boarding which forms the very essence of college life for our Boarders and Day students. Wymondham College has always been a fully co-educational school and since the 1970s we have had mixed boarding houses, and every student is attached to one of these.

We are seeking a collaborative leader and team player to contribute to the success of both the College and SET. Although previous experience in boarding is helpful, it is not essential. What matters most is a commitment to providing a well-rounded, world-class education. You should have a strong background in teaching and learning, and a vision centred on pupils' success, alongside a commitment to professional development.
