Cranleigh School to appoint new Head

Cranleigh's Head, Martin Reader, has announced his intention to retire in Summer 2024. The school has appointed RSAcademics to recruit his successor by the end of Summer term.

Reader has served for a decade as Head of Surrey's leading co-educational boarding school. During his tenure the school has excelled in academics, sport and the performing arts, building on its reputation for providing a top-tier, all-round education.

Chair of the Governing Body, Adrian Lajtha, said: "We are hugely grateful for all that has been done under Martin Reader's stewardship over the last ten years. The education environment is facing a time of change and, while a new Head will help us to navigate that change, our ethos, culture and core values will remain steadfast and of profound importance. All those things that make us special must continue."

RSAcademics have already begun the process of recruitment and have expressed confidence in the school's ability to attract a high-calibre field of candidates. The new Head is expected to be announced by the end of the Summer term.
