A familiar face is returning to Norfolk to take over as headteacher of one of the region's leading independent schools.

Nick Tiley-Nunn is set to take over as headteacher of Town Close School in September 2024, following a "rigorous search and selection process".

He is currently the head at another independent school - Ashford Prep School in Kent.

However, he is also the former head of the prep school and nursery at neighbouring Norwich High School for Girls - which is just metres away from the Ipswich Road school.

Mr Tiley-Nunn said: "It is a great honour and privilege to have the opportunity.

"This is a role that I have had my eye of for many years, due to the excellent reputation of the school, and I can not wait to become part of this incredible community."

Mr Tiley-Nunn spent four years at Norwich High for Girls, before leaving the role in September 2020.

He moves back to Norfolk with his wife Rachel and their two young children, Jemima and Felix, who will both attend the school.

He will succeed Christopher Wilson, who joined the school in September 2021.
