Director of Marketing and Admissions – Old Buckenham Hall
RSAcademics Ltd, Suffolk, Virginia, United States, 23437
Overview
Old Buckenham Hall is seeking to appoint an exceptional Director of Marketing and Admissions to drive the development and implementation of its marketing, recruitment and communications strategies. Salary: up to £75,000 per annum FTE, depending on skills and experience. Nestled within 80 acres of Suffolk countryside, Old Buckenham Hall (OBH) is one of East Anglia’s leading co-educational preparatory schools with around 200 boarding and day children aged 2 to 13. OBH has a proud 160-year history, and children leave ready to thrive at some of the UK’s most prestigious senior schools, carrying strong knowledge, friendships and values. Building on that legacy, in January 2026 OBH will formally become part of the Rugby School Group. Rugby is known for its innovation, breadth, and the “Whole Person, Whole Point” ethos. This merger creates the opportunity to blend OBH’s character with the support, investment and vision of a global education group. This is not a typical prep school marketing role: the merger provides the opportunity to help shape and deliver the next chapter of OBH’s history, and to implement a bold recruitment and marketing strategy that builds on the school’s traditions while ensuring OBH thrives in a competitive landscape.
