At Gresham’s we offer a rare opportunity where children can join us at our Nursery and Pre-Prep School from the age of 2 and continue with their education at our Prep and Senior Schools to the age of 18. Our school is situated in the Georgian town of Holt and sits within 200 acres of glorious countryside. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty with the Norfolk Broads and the North Norfolk Coast just a few miles away.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Matron to join our pastoral boarding team at the senior school on a part-time job share basis.

The ability to communicate effectively between pupils, parents and staff is essential to creating a happy home from home for our children.
