Boxgrove is a co-educational school, part of GEP Academies, for children aged 4-11 years old and is situated on the east side of Guildford (between Burpham and Merrow). We are four years into an expansion from two forms of entry to three and currently have 570 children on roll.
In the past two years we have built a new building and converted to be an academy - it has been a busy time! We are founder members of GEP Academies, together with George Abbot School and we are looking to further develop our role within this multi-academy trust.
The school has talented and committed staff and we are looking for an individual with the interpersonal skills and charisma to lead them. At Boxgrove we want every child to achieve their potential; we strive for the very highest academic standards and offer a wide-range of creative and extra-curricular activities for all our children. Inclusion and opportunity are at the heart of everything that we do as a school and it is essential that the person appointed shares our values.
