JOB DETAILS:

Background

Peponi House is a co-educational day prep school for children aged 6 to 13. Peponi School was established in 1989, to be a first class, independent, co-educational boarding school with an international intake of pupils working for internationally recognized school-leaving examinations at 16 (IGCSE), 17 (A/S) and 18 (A2) Years.

Purpose of the Role

The Housemaster (HSM)/ Housemistress (HSM) plays a central and highly valued role in the life of Peponi School’s boarding community. He is the heart of the House: creating a nurturing, structured and inspiring environment in which pupils feel heard, valued and genuinely at home. In partnership with tutors, resident staff, parents and senior leaders, the HSM ensures that each House is not simply a place to live, but a home from home where pupils can flourish emotionally, socially, academically and morally. The HSM has overall responsibility for the pastoral care, welfare, safety and personal development of the pupils in his House and is accountable to the Deputy Head Pastoral and the Headmaster.

Professional Expectations

• To work collaboratively with fellow Housemasters and Housemistresses to ensure consistency and best practice across boarding
• To attend HSM meetings and contribute thoughtfully to pastoral discussions and decision-making
• To remain reflective and adaptable, recognizing that each House has its own character while upholding shared standards
• To retain the ability to see life from a pupil’s perspective, advocating for their needs within the School
• To act at all times as a positive role model and ambassador for Peponi School
