Description
Holme Grange is a thriving independent co-educational day school for 660 children aged 9 months to 16 years, set in 22 acres of beautiful parkland on the outskirts of Wokingham in Berkshire. In 2025 the Senior School achieved the highest GCSE results in its history and is ranked a Top 5 Secondary School (11-16) in The Sunday Times Parent Power League Table.
Holme Grange is now seeking to appoint a dynamic and forward-thinking Director of Marketing, Admissions and Engagement to lead and deliver the external relations activities for this successful school. It is an exciting time to join with the arrival of a new Headteacher in September 2025, and the postholder will play an integral role in shaping and implementing the school’s new vision and strategy.
Reporting to the Headteacher, and a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Director will deliver a bold marketing and recruitment strategy that builds on the school’s traditions while ensuring Holme Grange thrives in an increasingly competitive landscape.
The successful candidate will have the ambition, energy and commercial acumen to sustain progressive growth. They will be an effective leader who combines strategic vision and an analytical mind with emotional intelligence, who can unite teams behind a shared purpose and communicate the distinctive offering of Holme Grange with creativity and care.
This high-profile leadership post will suit either an experienced marketing and communications professional from the education sector or an exceptional individual with experience gained outside the sector who has an instinctive feel for the school’s customers and their needs, bringing with them the relevant skills to undertake this complex and exciting post.
