Tom Rogerson has been working in the independent school sector for 32 years and is about to enter his 16th year of Headship.
During his working life, he took a year out of teaching in order to work for Universal Music in the A&R department looking after American artists such as Eminem, Nelly Furtado and Erica Badu.
He started his teaching career working at state schools in London and is presently the Head of Cottesmore School in West Sussex.
Cottesmore is an academic boarding prep school for girls and boys on the border of Surrey and Sussex. The school is ‘Prep School of the Year’ Tatler Schools Awards 2020/21 and ‘Boarding School of the Year’ Times Educational Supplement Schools Awards 2019.
His only other aspiration is to become a rock star and he hopes to pick up on this in retirement. He is in a rock band called The Replicant Saints who met at school; he would like to start a band made up of heads. His wife wants him to get rid of some of his 24 guitars.
