From the foot of the driveway, past the arched gates bearing the school’s name and through the main building’s north-facing windows, one glimpses the neat rows of students settling in for a long day of lectures and practicals, hair scraped back with identical militaristic precision.From the foot of the driveway, past the arched gates bearing the school’s name and through the main building’s north-facing windows, one glimpses the neat rows of students settling in for a long day of lectures and practicals, hair scraped back with identical militaristic precision.
With their uniform of tweed blazers, white gloves, beige pinafores and brown bowler hats, the nannies-in-training at Norland College, one of the oldest and most prestigious nanny schools in the world, cut incongruous figures on the modern landscape.With their uniform of tweed blazers, white gloves, beige pinafores and brown bowler hats, the nannies-in-training at Norland College, one of the oldest and most prestigious nanny schools in the world, cut incongruous figures on the modern landscape.
Even in its 130th year, Norland’s students remain highly sought after. “A big career with small people,” the prospectus promises, which seems about right: There are on average seven job offers for each graduating “Norlander.” Most, with only a few years in the field, can expect to fetch six-figure salaries, looking after the offspring of bankers, royals and celebrities, either working independently or joining a carousel of domestic staff — private tutors, housekeepers, chefs — that serve the globe-trotting elite.Even in its 130th year, Norland’s students remain highly sought after. “A big career with small people,” the prospectus promises, which seems about right: There are on average seven job offers for each graduating “Norlander.” Most, with only a few years in the field, can expect to fetch six-figure salaries, looking after the offspring of bankers, royals and celebrities, either working independently or joining a carousel of domestic staff — private tutors, housekeepers, chefs — that serve the globe-trotting elite.
Although speculations abound, the exact destination of a newly minted Norlander can never truly be known, since confidentiality is taken very seriously. Mick Jagger and Roger Federer are among the many high-profile figures believed to have employed Norlanders — rumors the college would neither confirm nor deny (though there is no doubt that Boris Johnson was himself partly raised by one, thanks to a loving paean by his sister Rachel in The Times of London).
There are, however, occasional exceptions to such professional guardedness: “We were very lucky that the royal family let Prince George’s nanny wear the Norland uniform at a christening in 2015, as we would never have shared information about a client. But with that, they obviously advertised for us,” said Janet Rose, the principal of Norland College.
