Ahead of his arrival with his family this summer, we asked Bradfield College’s incoming Head, Jeremy Quartermain, some very important questions to introduce him to the Bradfield community and help us all get to know him a little better.
What attracted you to the role of Head at Bradfield College?
I have the extraordinary privilege of leading a wonderful school community at Rossall in the North West, so it was always going to take something very special to tempt me away. Intellectually and culturally, Bradfield College sparkles with ambition and fizzes with innovation and creativity. I love the fact that it is a school which is internationally-minded and yet so clearly committed to being of service to the local community. Whilst the facilities and resources are world class, school communities are about people and, in this respect, Bradfield is uniquely blessed. The warmth and friendliness of staff, pupils and governors is reflective of a community that values collegiality, compassion and kindness. The more you get to know Bradfield and its people, the more its appeal grows. There is a really authentic and ‘down to earth’ feel about the School.
Over the past few months, I have had the opportunity to meet a growing number of Bradfieldians and this has been an absolute joy. I would like to thank them all for making me feel so welcome and, as a family, we are incredibly excited to be joining the Bradfield community ahead of September.
What three words would your family and friends use to describe you?
I think they might say, ambitious, generous and talkative, but you will have the opportunity to ask them soon enough!
