Brentwood School is seeking to appoint a PA to the Head of the Prep School.
The role of PA is essential in supporting the Head of the Prep School's capacity to lead and manage the Prep School.

We follow a continual cycle of improvement, being proactive in finding ways we can develop our approach and skills in order to harness the very best from all of our colleagues.
All staff are jointly responsible for achieving our aim 'to help our pupils become the best version of themselves through Virtue, Learning and Manners'.
Our motto, "Virtue, Learning, Manners", taken from the School statutes of 1622, encapsulates our vision for our students and staff. As an academic institution, we recognise the importance of investing in our people and the value of continuing professional development.
