The Opportunity You will be a specialist practitioner - in Music, Drama, Musical Theatre or Dance - with the artistic credibility to command respect and the imagination to inspire. You will bring infectious enthusiasm, strategic clarity and commercial flair. You will honour our rich traditions while confidently shaping a programme that speaks to contemporary audiences, excites families and nurtures every pupil - from first performance in Pre-Prep to specialist pathways in the Sixth Form. At a pivotal moment in our history, you will also help shape and champion the development of a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre - a transformational facility that will elevate creative provision across the whole age range and further position Cranleigh as a centre of excellence locally, nationally and internationally.

Imaginative yet pragmatic - capable of balancing excellence with broad participation, tradition with innovation, ambition with sustainability. Experience within a boarding/day school, leadership of large-scale productions or involvement in capital development projects will be advantageous. Why Cranleigh? This is a rare opportunity to shape something genuinely distinctive: a creative ecosystem where participation flourishes, excellence is nurtured and the arts sit unapologetically at the heart of school life. With exceptional pupils, committed staff, strong heritage and bold ambition, Cranleigh offers the platform and the appetite for transformational leadership.
