The Governors have appointed Matt Radley to be the next Headmaster at King’s from September 2025....

Matt is currently Second Master at Blundell’s School, a premier co-ed boarding and day school in Devon, with an outstanding reputation for its pastoral care and academic standards. Prior to Blundell’s, Matt was at Haileybury where he gained valuable experience, initially as Head of Department and then as a Housemaster. Matt is a graduate of Modern History from Lincoln College Oxford as well as having a Master’s in Education from Cambridge, and spent 6 years in banking before moving into the education sector. Matt is also a talented sportsman and a keen coach who loves to develop pupils’ talents in rugby, athletics and hockey.

Matt is married to Sally, and they have a son and a daughter who will be moving to live in Bruton and both children will attend Hazlegrove.

We were fortunate to have an extremely strong field of over 40 candidates for the post, but Matt stood out due to his passion for the welfare and education of children and his clear alignment with the values and ethos which lie at the heart of King’s. We very much look forward to welcoming Matt, Sally and their family to King’s. There will be an opportunity to meet them during the 2024 - 2025 academic year and the arrangements will be passed on in due course.

The Senior Warden
