About Jonathan
Formerly head of a leading girls senior boarding school in Shropshire for more than 20 years, Jonathan joined The Good Schools Guide as a writer and consultant in 2022. He is currently working as Interim Head of another boarding and day school in East Sussex but is looking forward to returning to his consultancy role, despite enjoying a new challenge at a later stage in his career. He has also worked in a boys’ school in Yorkshire and a large co-educational school in Scotland, where he was a housemaster and head of English and drama.
Extensively experienced in the development of international student recruitment, he had long admired the impartial advice and guidance offered by The Good Schools Guide, having been featured himself in schools’ reviews in The Guide for more than 20 years! Jonathan is very familiar with the Cotswolds and Scotland as well as schools in Shropshire, Yorkshire and Sussex. He is a trustee of a hospital, a school governor and volunteer for the National Trust in both Scotland and England.
With four young grandchildren in independent schools in Buckinghamshire, Jonathan and his wife are now enjoying seeing prep schools from a different perspective, admiring the wonderful extra-curricular opportunities and learning experiences offered to younger children by the sector.
