The Elms
The Elms is a wonderful co-educational prep school situated on the Herefordshire / Worcestershire border. We are nestled in the foothills of the Malvern Hills in 45 acres of rural tranquillity, in the village of Colwall, which is 10 minutes from Ledbury or Malvern. We have our own working farm, with cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, poultry, and horses, all of which are part of the teaching and learning curriculum.
The Elms was founded in 1614, making us the oldest prep school in England still situated on its original site. We are an IAPS boarding and day school and pride ourselves on achieving excellent results to many Public Schools, both locally and across the UK. Despite being non-selective the school achieves consistently high standards academically.
The Role
This is an extremely rare opportunity to take on a role, that combines farming with some teaching, in an idyllic setting. The farm at The Elms has developed since its introduction forty years ago, seeing it become a large part of the children’s education and experience at school. The job is varied and includes planning strategies for the farm, equestrian department and estate, organising farm administration, working machinery and working alongside other school staff.
Key Responsibilities
The Farm Manager will be responsible for planning, organising and managing all the activities of a farm and will also work alongside the grounds and equestrian departments.
