Hear from Leah Barton (Hatherley 2022) about her experience as a caller:
"The part I enjoyed most about the Telephone Campaign was talking to such a wide variety of Old Decanians about their careers and their time at Dean Close. One conversation really stood out — I spoke with a lawyer who gave me invaluable advice about my future career. Law is a path I’ve been considering, and it was fascinating to hear his insights. He even offered to arrange a visit to his law firm, where I’ll have the chance to ask more questions and learn about the profession in person.
Being part of this Campaign has opened so many doors and opportunities for me. It was also inspiring to see how many ODs were keen to support the Foundation Awards. Once they learned more about how these awards provide life-changing opportunities for pupils, many were eager to help."
The Foundation
Dean Close Foundation is a growing, vibrant and diverse family of independent schools and nurseries, uniting around a shared vision and set of values. These spring from the origins of Dean Close School, which was founded in 1886 in memory of Dean Francis Close, Rector of Cheltenham and educational philanthropist. The Christian ethos of that original school continues today where the aim is that every child should be given the opportunities to flourish, underpinned by its core values of courage, contribution and love which are the guiding principles behind its educational vision. The Foundation currently has five schools and six nurseries within its group, creating a strong community that can share best practice, resources and a secure future.
Dean Close Foundation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
