St Michael’s is a leading independent day school for boys and girls aged 2 to 13, set in 100 acres of stunning grounds overlooking Sevenoaks in Kent. Founded in 1872, the School has a proud heritage of combining tradition with innovation, academic ambition with pastoral care, all within a truly exceptional natural setting.
We believe wholeheartedly in the value and importance of early years education. The foundations laid in these formative years are vital and at St Michael’s we are committed to ensuring that every child’s first experiences of school are joyful, nurturing and inspiring.
Our facilities are outstanding: from the Swimming Pool and Astro pitches to extensive play areas, beautifully maintained grounds and our dedicated Forest School. The purpose-built Pre-Prep, opened
13 years ago, blends the charm of the old with the practicality of the new, providing an inspiring environment for our youngest pupils. The Pre-Prep is a vibrant, nurturing community where curiosity
and confidence are fostered from the very beginning.
St Michael’s enjoys an excellent reputation, with high demand for places and a strong sense of family at its heart. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for an exceptional leader and manager of people - someone with drive, vision and ambition to build upon the excellent foundations laid by the current Head of Pre-Prep, who is retiring after more than a decade of dedicated service.
Working with autonomy, yet in close partnership with Mr Nik Pears, Head of St Michael’s since January 2021, the successful candidate will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Pre-Prep and ensuring
that every child receives the very best start to their educational journey.
Closing date for applications: 31st December 2025 letter which sets out your interest in the role and encapsulates the aspects of your experience relevant to the required criteria.
