Candidates should note that we anticipate that this post will be residential, although this cannot be guaranteed. If residential, on-campus accommodation is provided, and conditions of work are very attractive.  If residential, the successful applicant will be expected to play an active role in boarding life, and a willingness to contribute to the co-curricular programme and support the pastoral life of our school is extremely important.
