Somerhill is an extraordinary place to learn and work. Nestled in 150 acres of parkland, our school offers a unique combination of history, beauty and vibrancy. We believe passionately that early childhood should be filled with joy, curiosity and possibility, and our pre-prep provides the perfect environment for children to take their first steps into education with confidence and wonder. We look forward to welcoming applications from existing Heads of Pre-Prep or Deputy Heads, who will bring warmth, insight and inspiration to this vital stage of school life. This is a rare opportunity to lead a thriving pre-prep and shape the earliest experiences of Somerhill children.
The Head of Pre-Prep looks after approximately 200 pupils across Nursery, Kindergarten, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, and oversees a team of more than 35 dedicated staff, including the Deputy Head of Pre-Prep, Head of EYFS, teachers and teaching assistants. Working closely with the Head and the Senior Leadership Team, you will ensure excellence and consistency across EYFS and Key Stage 1, monitor children’s progress, and use assessment to drive continual improvement.
The role brings a high degree of day-to-day autonomy while remaining deeply connected to the wider leadership of the school. With a strong focus on pastoral care, well-being, behaviour and family partnerships, you will help create a nurturing and inspiring environment for our youngest learners.
You will also contribute to staff development, admissions, marketing, health and safety compliance, and the smooth running of daily operations while teaching for part of the week to remain closely connected to pupils and model best practice.
We look forward to welcoming applications from existing Heads of Pre-Prep or Deputy Heads, who will bring warmth, insight and inspiration to this vital stage of school life. This is a rare opportunity to lead a thriving pre-prep and shape the earliest experiences of Somerhill children.
