The successful candidate will be an experienced and enthusiastic practitioner, preferably with experience of teaching Business Studies across the secondary phase, including (I)GCSE and A-Level/IB Diploma.

As an international school we expect all of our staff to commit to the life of the school, through our after-school programme and events and activities going on throughtout the year. A commitment to educating the whole child, emphasis on high levels of pastoral care and an inclusive approach to education will be of the utmost importance as we make the final appointment. As our students come to us from a range of different backgrounds and with varying needs, an interest in raising attainment across all ability levels is very important. Candidates will also need to demonstrate evidence of being a strong team player as well as the ability to adapt quickly to new situations, with a flexible approach to problem solving. We follow an adapted English National Curriculum across our primary and secondary schools, leading to examination at IGCSE and A-Level (IB Diploma from September 2019). If you are committed to child centred education, with a deep rooted desire to help every child reach their potential and are interested in helping shape the future development of an international school we would be delighted to hear from you.
