The school has enjoyed considerable success at National level in recent years with a number of students playing at international level (including students being selected for the GB EDP) and some going on to achieve full scholarships to leading US universities, including Stanford and Yale.

The Head of Hockey is responsible for raising the profile of hockey at the school, and externally, even further. It is expected that the postholder plays a leading role in the development of the sport at both the Senior School and at the Prep School, which will include the creation of a coaching and development programme. They will work closely with the Director of Sport and the Head of Prep School PE & Games.

The successful candidate will have a strong sporting background, with proven experience and expertise in the coaching and management of Hockey: the school is committed to achieving success and this role requires an individual to have charisma, enthusiasm and ambition. The school supports taking pupils on Tours and has done so regularly in past years. It is expected that the Head of Hockey will organise and lead Hockey tours for boys and girls in holiday time as well as operating holiday coaching camps.
We welcome all applications especially from independent thinkers, creative minds and inspirational teachers and very much look forward to receiving your application.
