Highly competitive package commensurate with experience
Full-time
SummaryBristol Grammar School is seeking to appoint an exceptional leader to the post of Head of BGS Infant and Junior School from September 2025.
DetailThe Head of the BGS Infant and Junior School has full, delegated responsibility for the leadership and management of the Infant and Junior (I&J) School. They are responsible for ensuring that I&J helps the school to deliver its Mission to provide an exceptional and rounded education to those who might benefit from it regardless of background and means, and for upholding and exemplifying the BGS values of kindness, integrity, and rigour in all that they do.
BGS is a thriving independent day school, taking girls and boys from Reception through to Sixth Form. Over recent years, we have further strengthened our already impressive academic, pastoral, and co-curricular provision, resulting in "Excellent" ratings across all areas in our last ISI inspection, outstanding examination success, and accolades for all aspects of our education. Despite strong competition from local state and independent schools, BGS is full, with waiting lists in a number of year-groups. The financial strength that accompanies this success has allowed the School to continue to invest in resources and infrastructure, the highlight being the recent opening of the 1532 Performing Arts Centre.
BGS Junior School was founded in 1900 on the relatively new Tyndall's Park Campus. It moved into what was originally the BGS Headmaster's dwelling in 1940. The Infant School is a more recent development, opening in January 2010. Around 340 pupils are now educated in the Infant and Junior School, with major entry points in Reception and Years 3 and 5. The overwhelming majority of our Year 6 pupils move into the BGS Senior School for Year 7. Infant and Junior pupils are an important and integral part of the BGS family.
The Head of BGS Infant and Junior School plays a pivotal part in this moulding of minds and contributes more widely as an important and valued member of the BGS Senior Leadership Team. BGS Infant and Junior School enjoys a fantastic local and national reputation, and the school is in a wonderful position from which to look to the future with its next Head.
Full role details and an application form may be obtained from the School's website BGS Leadership posts, closing date for applications is Sunday 01 December.
