Director of Sport

The opportunity has arisen for an ambitious, enthusiastic and highly organised Director of Sport to join the School in September 2026 or January 2027. Sport plays a highly important role in the life of the school and so the Director of Sport role is a key member of the team.

Major sports at the school include Lacrosse, Netball, Rugby, Hockey and Cricket. Football is an emerging and popular addition to the programme, while Golf, Tennis, Swimming, Athletics, Basketball, Equestrianism and Polo also play an important part in the overall offering.

Westonbirt is a medium-sized school with a track record of punching above its weight and an ambition to develop further. The school benefits from excellent sports facilities which include acres of playing fields, indoor Sports Centre, full size Astroturf pitch, 25m Swimming Pool, a 9-hole Golf Course and arguably one of the most picturesque cricket squares in the country. As a result of the significant growth of the school and move to co-education (now complete), the provision of sport at Westonbirt has evolved rapidly and successfully in recent years. The incoming Director of Sport will have the exciting opportunity to build upon the many successes of this period, whilst also helping to map out a development plan to take the department forward to new heights over the coming decade. The school's leadership team are highly ambitious for the school, its pupils and staff and seek a candidate with the vision, drive and determination to deliver on Westonbirt's potential. In return, Westonbirt
provides the successful candidate with the support and encouragement to think big, the opportunity for significant career development and the chance to be part of one of the most exciting schools in the country.
