Founded in 1873 and home to around 380 boarding and day pupils aged 3–13, Bilton Grange (BG) has long been recognised as one of the Midlands’ leading co-educational preparatory schools. Set in 90 acres of rural countryside with superb transport links, BG makes learning the adventure it should be, and its unique approach enables children to thrive both in and outside the classroom. At BG education is about more than academic results: it is about character, confidence, and curiosity.
In January 2020, BG merged with Rugby School, formalising a relationship that had been happy and cooperative for many years before. Rugby School is one of the great names in British education, with a reputation for innovation, breadth, and the “Whole Person, Whole Point” ethos. Rugby School is the chosen destination for around 60% of BG pupils, but children leave ready to thrive at a range of the UK’s most prestigious senior schools, taking with them not just a strong foundation of knowledge, but also the friendships and values that last a lifetime.
The Head of Admissions & Marketing at BG will play a pivotal role in supporting the school’s future: this is a hugely exciting opportunity to make a mark in a school that is truly thriving and where there is real scope for personal and professional fulfilment.
The mission is clear: to ensure that BG’s distinctive ethos, high standards, and exceptional opportunities are recognised by more families regionally, nationally and internationally.
Reporting directly to the Head, this is a perfect role for someone who can combine being hands-on with being strategic. For someone who wants to tell the BG story face-to-face to prospective parents and who can also communicate that more widely. It is ideally suited to an ambitious admissions, marketing, sales or business development orientated professional – from inside or outside the education sector - who can also demonstrate skills in navigating complex stakeholder relationships.
