Following a 16-year career spanning three schools in London, Mr Chataway will be leaving his position as Deputy Head Pastoral at Latymer Upper School to join Kingswood in September alongside his wife and two children, who will be joining Kingswood Prep School.
Mr Chataway said: “From the first moment I was in touch with Kingswood, I was overwhelmed by the sense of community the school held.
“There was an obvious warmth and kindness throughout my interactions at every point, and it was clear that pupils and staff alike really seemed to care about school and each other.”
Headmaster and Principal of the Kingswood Foundation, Andrew Gordon-Brown, said: “We had an outstanding field of applicants for this position of Senior Deputy Head, and I am sure that Mr Chataway will be a worthy successor to Mr John Davies.
“The Governors and I were hugely impressed by the considerable pastoral and leadership experience that Mat will bring to complement our senior team.
“Mat’s personal connection to our school’s mission and identity is very strong and we very much look forward to welcoming him and his family to the Kingswood community from September.”
Kingswood School is a co-educational day and boarding school with more than 1,300 pupils including the nursery.
