Bryanston Prep Appoints Dominic Floyd as New Head
The Governors and Head, Richard Jones, of Bryanston School are pleased to announce the appointment of Dominic Floyd as the new Head of Bryanston Prep, from January 2026
This follows a rigorous selection process with Dominic standing out as an outstanding candidate to lead the school into its next chapter.
Dominic joins from Mount Kelly Prep where he has been Head for more than eight years, bringing extensive experience in the education sector in both leadership and teaching. His impressive career includes Assistant Head at Hazlegrove, Headmaster of Ashdown House, Head of Geography at Westminster Under School, Housemaster at Cothill, Humanities Teacher at Holland Park School and Assistant Housemaster at Pangbourne College. His broad experience has equipped him with a deep understanding of both academic excellence, pastoral care and boarding.
Dominic was educated at the Dragon School, Farleigh School, (where his father was Headmaster) followed by Worth School. He studied at the University of London where he gained both a BA in Geography and a PGCE. In January, Dominic, along with his wife, Maria, a talented artist, will relocate to join the Bryanston community. Their family includes three children; two currently at university (one of which is an Old Bryanstonian) and their youngest who joins Bryanston in Year 10 (C).
Commenting on the appointment, Eric Benedict, Bryanston’s Chair of Governors, said,
'The Board of Governors was unanimous in its decision to appoint Dominic. His exceptional experience, vision for Bryanston Prep, along with his understanding of our ethos, makes him the perfect person for this role. We are very much looking forward to welcoming Dominic, Maria and their family to the Bryanston community.'
Dominic added,
'I am extremely proud and excited to be taking on the Headship at Bryanston Prep. As a former Bryanston parent, I have a personal connection to the school and admiration for its global reputation. My time at Mount Kelly has reinforced the advantages of an all-through educational environment and I am eager to bring that expertise to Bryanston Prep. Maria and I are excited to return to Dorset and to meet the families and staff over the coming months.'
