This is an exciting new opportunity to lead sport in an incredible standalone preparatory school with excellent facilities. The successful candidate will be keen to lead this crucial area of school life with ambition, but will also be a team player, taking a full part in the wider life of this happy and busy school.
Town Close School is a co-educational preparatory day school of over 420 pupils aged 3 to 13 years, situated close to the centre of Norwich on a beautiful 15-acre site, including conservation woodland. Founded in 1932, it is now a charitable trust managed by a board of governors. The School is based around two large townhouses and their extensive gardens; the main house is early Georgian and the other mid-Victorian. Purpose-built classrooms and other premises and accommodation have been added, most in recent years. We also have a swimming pool onsite, as well as two sports grounds and an Astro turf nearby. A high specification Sports Hall was opened in September 2009, a superb performing arts hall in January 2010 and the Pre Prep and Nursery was extended and refurbished in 2017. A second science lab was opened in January 2025 and a drama studio, cookery room and renovated Reception garden were opened in September 2025. Onsite netball courts have also recently been completed in October 2025.
In 2020, we were awarded the prestigious national honour of TES Pre Prep/Prep School of the Year. Town Close School underwent inspection in June 2025 conducted by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, where we not only met all standards, but also received a significant strength for the impact of our School values; ‘The Town Close Way’. Despite the current climate, demand for places is excellent and academic performance is strong.
We aim to develop the full potential of each child, not just as great pupils, but more importantly as great people . We are proud of our academic record, our renown for music, drama, technology and art, and our reputation for sport. Our recent sporting successes have been numerous with both boys and girls teams reaching IAPS National finals last year. There is a strong foundation for onward development.
