We believe that education should be dynamic and tailored to the individual needs of every child. We aim to create a happy school which fosters academic excellence and puts each individual pupil's wellbeing first.
Kensington in London is a wonderful place to work. With national landmarks including the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum and Hyde Park on our doorstep, there are plenty of opportunities to bring lessons to life beyond the classroom and immerse yourself in the local culture and history of the capital city.
Through my experiences in leadership roles across three Brighton College prep schools, I have had the privilege of experiencing the Brighton College ethos in a variety of settings and am delighted to be leading Brighton College Prep Kensington through this exciting chapter in its development. If you share our commitment to kindness and putting children first, I invite you to join us on this journey and we would be delighted to hear from you.
