Thank you for your interest in the role of Director of Estates at the Princethorpe Foundation. We are delighted that you are considering joining us and we hope that you will wish to apply for this position once you have found out more about us. The Princethorpe Foundation is an incredibly exciting place. We pride ourselves on being a warm, kind and caring organisation, as well as being disciplined and aspirational. We cater for a wide range of children from a variety of backgrounds and have an outstanding record of academic success by getting the very best from our pupils. Our schools have amazing histories, beautiful buildings and grounds and are made up of people who are incredibly friendly, bright and energetic. We aim to treat every pupil as an individual, supporting them to grow into mature, resilient, well-rounded and “world ready” young people with a strong set of moral values to guide them through adult life. We have two rules for pupils and staff: “Be kind and always give your very best”. The Foundation Director of Estates is a new and exciting role that will focus on developing and delivering the Foundation’s strategic plans for its Estates, along with providing the highest standards of leadership and management for this large department. The successful candidate will report to the Foundation Bursar and work closely with myself, the Heads of our two preparatory schools and senior leaders across the Foundation. Welcome to THE Princethorpe FOUNDATION
We have ambitious plans for all our schools not least the construction of a new Science Centre at Princethorpe, our largest campus project
to date, which will cost £8 million and provide 10 brand- new, state-of-the-art science laboratories. The project will also enable the College to re-develop and cluster several other departments within the main school building. I am really looking forward to working closely with the new Director of Estates and the exciting work that lies ahead.
