Cranleigh School

This is an exciting opportunity to work for Cranleigh, a prestigious independent day and boarding school, set in the beautiful surroundings of the Surrey Hills, not far from Guildford. This is a newly created leadership role and the successful candidate will play a pivotal role in delivering an ambitious plan for growth.

There are 700 pupils in the Senior School and 300 in the Prep School and pupils are accepted from 7-18 years. The School was founded in 1865 as a boys’ school to educate the sons of farmers and has come a long way since then, accepting girls in the 1970’s and becoming fully co-educational in 1999. Most pupils come from Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire and SW London, although the school is expanding to attract pupils from further afield. Cranleigh have opened an international school in Abu Dhabi along with three schools in China.

Cranleigh is working on an ambitious strategic plan aiming to position the School as one of the top independent schools in the UK. You will play a key role in bringing the Head’s vision to life, across both schools and you will offer strategic oversight to the marketing and admissions functions.

As a leader you will be highly strategic, optimistic and inspiring with strong people skills and the ability to build relationships across the schools, and at all levels. The successful candidate will bring strong Marketing Director level experience in a professional organisation, school or agency and will be committed to independent education and the development of young people
