Head of Primary School

The International School @ ParkCity (ISP), located in the exclusive residential area of Desa ParkCity (www.desaparkcity.com), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, opened in September 2011 and quickly established itself as a special and dynamic place for children to learn. In October 2017, we were awarded The International Schools Quality Mark (ISQM) at Gold Level and were identified as being outstanding in all 8 standards during the accreditation visit.

In August 2019 our second international school is planned to open in ParkCity Hanoi (http://www.parkcityhanoi.com.vn). The current Head of Primary, following six very successful years at ISP, has been appointed as the Principal for The International School @ ParkCity Hanoi, with effect from February 2019. For this reason we are seeking to appoint a new Head of Primary to start in August 2019, or earlier if the right candidate is available. The flexibility in the start date is a reflection of our commitment to finding the right person for this crucial position.

We are inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates who:

• have experience of leadership within a Primary School setting
• have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work with diverse groups of colleagues, parents and students
• are approachable, good communicators and able to contribute to our warm, supportive school
• demonstrate a good understanding of the use of data to maintain high standards
• demonstrate sound knowledge and understanding of the English National Curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Familiarity with the IPC would be an advantage, yet not essential
• are proponents of technology for learning
• possess humour, energy and the flexibility to meet the demands of our growing school
