Nick joined St Dunstan’s College in September 2014 as one of the youngest Heads in HMC, at 34 years old. No stranger to South East London, he attended Whitgift School before later teaching at Dulwich College. After holding various leadership positions at Magdalen College School, in Oxford, Nick took the brave decision to help set-up and lead a flag-ship independent school in South Korea, as part of a franchise with North London Collegiate School. After 3 years, Nick and others had developed an oversubscribed day and boarding school for approximately 1000 children, with some of the strongest IB results in Asia. 

Returning to his stomping ground in London, Nick has taken St Dunstan’s on a significant journey in recent years, being awarded Co-Educational Independent School of the Year in 2019 and TES School of the Year in 2022, alongside many other accolades. In the last two years, St Dunstan’s Senior School has consistently been positioned in the top 60 performing independent schools in the UK for its public exam results and has been nationally recognised for its work in EEDI and championing a progressive, Renaissance education. Last year, St Dunstan’s became one of the first schools in the country to receive two significant strengths from the ISI.  

St Dunstan’s has recently expanded its footprint to incorporate more local schools into St Dunstan’s Education Group, of which Nick is Executive Head.
