Surrounded by stunning Hampshire countryside, the School prides itself on being one of the oldest prep schools in the country.
The Governors invite applications for the post of Bursar and Clerk to the Governors. This is a particularly exciting time to join Twyford with the arrival of the new Head, Andrew Harvey, in September 2020.

The new Bursar will relish this exceptional opportunity to work alongside the new Head in taking the School into the next chapter of its development.
Reporting to the Head, the Bursar is a critical member of the Senior Leadership Team. He/she is also responsible to the Chair of Governors in their role as Clerk to the Governors.

They will work closely with the new Head to drive the School’s development plan.
The successful candidate will be an individual of proven leadership ability, a strategic thinker and will possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Exceptional financial acumen and robust commercial judgement will be essential.
