It is hoped that his successor will be appointed to the Board as a Governor from the Summer Term of 2025 to allow for a period of handover before taking over as Chair from September 2025.
The Governors are seeking someone with a real commitment to the School and to the education and development of the pupils. While the role is voluntary, the Chair of Governors will have the opportunity to:
- Shape the future of an independent preparatory school with a strong reputation
- Develop governance and leadership skills in a dynamic educational environment
- Make a lasting impact on pupils, staff and the broader school community
St Martin’s is a thriving Preparatory School for 400 boys aged 3 to 13 in North West London. It is a dynamic, friendly and caring community, set in 12 acres of attractive grounds and within easy driving distance from Northwood, Rickmansworth, Watford, Pinner, Ruislip, Harefield, Bushey, Stanmore and Oxhey.
St Martin’s prepares boys for a large number of prestigious senior schools which include Merchant Taylors’, Haberdashers’ Boys, Harrow, John Lyon, St Albans and Aldenham Schools. The School has maintained an excellent record in recent years of boys winning academic, sporting, music, DT and all-rounder scholarships, reflecting the dedicated commitment of teachers and boys alike.
If this is an opportunity that appeals to you and you believe that you have the required skills, experience and attributes to be a Chair of Governors, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
