Rosemead Preparatory School and Nursery is delighted to announce Rishi Boyjoonauth as the new Head, effective from September 2025.
This is his third headship, having been a principal of an academy in Kent and most recently Head of Prep at Farringtons School. Mr Boyjoonauth has a wide educational background, including teaching at university level and being a Director of Improvement for a large multi academy trust.
Speaking about his appointment, Mr Boyjoonauth, said: ‘I am thrilled and delighted to be appointed as Head of Rosemead. I was attracted by the diverse and inclusive ethos of the school, child-centred focus, as well as the strong academic results. I was instantly struck by the friendly and welcoming staff, diligent atmosphere in the classrooms and the talented children at my interview; I was certainly put through my paces by the pupils during my interview! I can see that there is so much potential at Rosemead.’
Nick Hewlett, Head of St Dunstan’s Education Group, of which Rosemead is part, explained: ‘I am absolutely delighted that Mr Boyjoonauth has agreed to lead Rosemead into its next exciting chapter, and we welcome him onto the St Dunstan’s Executive Team. Mr Boyjoonauth is an outstanding educator and leader and at Rosemead he has the opportunity to further build on the extraordinary journey that has been undertaken in recent years, building a truly progressive curriculum, rooted within a unique culture and ethos, that chimes with the overarching vision of St Dunstan’s Education Group.’
Mr Boyjoonauth joins Rosemead at an exciting time for the Dulwich prep school. Last year, the school was award two prestigious awards. In November, Rosemead was awarded for Excellence and Innovation in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Independent Schools Association (ISA) Awards. This followed an earlier award for Best EDIB (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging) at the Education Choices Awards 2024.
Mr Boyjoonauth read Law at University College London and the University of Paris. Prior to entering the world of education, he practised as a solicitor in the City, specialising in Property Litigation. He holds the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) and has been admitted as a Fellow to the Chartered College of Teaching.
He also is a keen musician, playing the piano, flute and singing tenor in a prominent Chamber Choir. As a fluent French speaker, he was pleased to see that languages play a large part in Rosemead’s curriculum.
Mr Boyjoonauth added: ‘This is an extremely exciting time for the school, and I cannot wait to embark upon this journey to lead the school into its next phase of development. I look forward to meeting more of the pupils and parents in the not-too-distant future.’
