About Melanie Gray

I have been lucky to have had a varied and fulfilling career within the world of international sales and marketing, latterly with 19 years’ experience of working within the independent schools sector. My previous position as Marketing Director at Wycliffe College, Senior Education Consultant with Metropolis Education, and more recently, Director of Admissions at Bristol International College, which provided a wealth of experience in international student recruitment.Working in a boarding school has given me a deep understanding of the value international students add to the school community, but also, how the experience of studying in the UK benefits a child’s own personal development and growth. It’s humbling to see students’ arriving on their first day at the school, in some cases after traveling thousands of miles around the world to study in a second language, and to see the same children blossom and grow with confidence during their time at the school. Over the years, I have relished working with families and educational agents, I pride myself on always offering honest and factual advice, thus ensuring a child’s individual needs are always central to the admissions process. I thoroughly enjoy working with families and building lasting relationships and this has been by far the most rewarding aspect of my job.Moreover, I believe that working closely with education agents and by building long-term partnerships is the key to success for both the school and the agent. It is a privileged to have so many friends within my agent network, which is why I am thrilled to be joining the team at Kingsley School, Devon where I will be able to combine my market knowledge and wealth of experience within my new role as Director of Admissions. I am very much looking forward to getting back on the road to promote kingsley to agents and potential international students.
