HEAD OF BOARDING
REQUIRED FOR 1ST SEPTEMBER 2026

WELCOME

Thank you for considering the role of Head of Boarding at

Moulsford Prep School.

Moulsford is a thriving independent day & boarding school of 330 pupils aged 3

to  13  years,  set  in  tranquil  and  picturesque  grounds  on  the  banks  of  the  River

Thames in South Oxfordshire.

At Moulsford, the message is straightforward. We want our pupils to receive the

broadest  possible  education,  while  remembering  that  they  will  learn  best  when

happy and settled.

Founded in 1961, this is a particularly exciting period in Moulsford’s

development with the School in the process of going co-educational. At present

girls and boys are in Year 3 and below, and the school will be fully co-

educational by 2030.

Moulsford offers a fantastic working environment, placing great emphasis on staff

wellbeing and morale, as well as having a culture of career development.

I look forward to welcoming you to Moulsford soon.

Ben Beardmore-Gray

Headmaster

THE SCHOOL

Moulsford Prep School is situated on an idyllic

30-acre site on the banks of the River Thames.

Our Prep School (age 7 – 13) traditionally delivered an outstanding

all-boys education, and is now moving towards full co-education by

There are currently 330 pupils at the School from Pre-School to

Year 8.  Moulsford is predominantly a day school, but currently has

a boarding house for up to 35 pupils; mainly in Years 6, 7 and 8.

The School week runs from Monday to Friday, and there are also a

number of sports fixtures which take place on Saturdays. There is

neither Saturday School nor boarding on Friday night or at the

accepting girls into Year 3 from September 2025, who will continue

through the school, until the whole school is fully co-educational by

weekend.

2030. Our Pre-Prep (age 3 – 7) became co-educational in

September 2023.

Moulsford aims to nurture the whole child, providing opportunities

for each individual to develop their talents and abilities.  The culture

is one of achievement within a vibrant learning environment,

ensuring positive reinforcement at all levels of ability.  The School

has high academic expectations of the pupils and excellent teaching

ensures that they move to their Senior Schools extremely well

prepared.

Great emphasis is also placed on the extra-curricular side of School

life. Forest School, Sport, Music, Art, Drama and river-based

activities play a prominent role in the pupils’ timetable.  Sport at

Moulsford is particularly strong with the major sports being rugby,

football, hockey, cricket and netball.

From Moulsford, the children go on to a wide variety of senior

schools via Common Entrance or Scholarship at 13+.  These

include: Abingdon, Radley, Marlborough, Wellington, Magdalen

College School (Oxford), Eton, St Edward’s (Oxford), Pangbourne,

Harrow, Shiplake, and The Oratory. This list will be expanded to

include a range of girls’ schools, as girls progress through the school.

The Headmaster is Ben Beardmore-Gray who took up post in

September 2014.  Ben was previously Headmaster of Mowden Hall

(Northumberland), Deputy Head of Farleigh (Hampshire), and

started his teaching career at Ludgrove (Berkshire).  He is also on

the Council of Cheltenham College, District Representative for

District 10 of the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS), ,

a Director of the Independent Schools  Examination Board (ISEB)

and is a mentor and coach to other Heads.

THE ROLE

HEAD OF BOARDING

LINE MANAGER: Headmaster

HOURS OF WORK: Full-Time Monday – Friday

TIMES OF WORK: The Head of Boarding must reside in the Boarding House when the pupils
are staying overnight.

SALARY: Dependent on experience & qualifications, commensurate with industry standards

The Head of Boarding is a very rewarding role, and one integral to the School as the leader of this popular
boarding house.

This is an exciting time to join Moulsford Prep School, with the introduction of co-education into Year 3
progressing through the school year on year.  Currently, the boarding house is all boys, and it is anticipated that
girls will start to board in September 2027. The Head of Boarding will oversee the transition to co-educational
boarding.

Pupils board at Moulsford from Monday evening through to Friday morning with the Head of Boarding being
responsible for the pastoral care and welfare of each boarding pupil. Living in the Boarding House, he/she is
responsible for promoting good social skills and creating and maintaining a warm, friendly and nurturing
atmosphere that enables pupils to thrive in the School community.  Pupils can either board weekly (Monday –
Friday) or flexi board. If the latter, pupils must commit to boarding two nights a week for the term.

The successful candidate will thoroughly enjoy being with children and have a good sense of humour, together
with excellent inter-personal skills...

• To act with reasonable care and skill.

It is about using your skills and experience to make balanced and informed decisions, managing risks, protecting assets and people, recognising and dealing with conflicts of interest in order to help the charity to achieve its aims and objectives.

Trustees should have a strong personal commitment to the aims and objectives of our mental health charity.

If you are over 18 years of age and can identify with any one of the following skills or experience (or similar) we would love to hear from you.

• Experience of professional leadership
• Experience of financial planning & management

We will be in touch to arrange a meeting with you and some of the trustees to discuss the role further.
