Job overview

Wycombe Abbey School Hangzhou (WAISHZ) is set in 40 acres of spectacular countryside in the Xiaoshan District, south of the city centre. The site itself comprises two schools, a Lower School and an Upper School, providing exceptional education for students from EY through to Year 13 (Grade 12).

The school is seeking to appoint an Early Years Foundation (Kindergarten) Teacher.

Wycombe Abbey School, Hangzhou will be established as a private school enabling local Chinese nationals to enjoy the benefits of a Wycombe Abbey School education.  The majority of the student body will be Chinese nationals studying a unique programme where an internationalised programme complements the Chinese National Curriculum. The students will be taught in both Mandarin and English so that they can graduate from the School with undergraduate levels of both Mandarin and English and thereby flourish at premium universities all around the world.  All students will take IGCSE and A-Level examinations.

The facilities at the school will be outstanding and include a theatre, first-class laboratories, sports fields, running track, and an indoor pool. A fully resourced, state of art building  for EY students will also be on site.

When open, the school will represent a further significant development in the ambitious growth of Wycombe Abbey Schools in China, building on the success of the first school in Changzhou (2016), the opening of a second school in Hong Kong (2019) and commitments to open at least two more schools elsewhere in China by 2021, all operated in a strategic partnership between Wycombe Abbey and BE Education. Wycombe Abbey is recognised globally as one of the UK’s leading independent academic boarding schools and its offer has been carefully replicated in China, shaped to meet local needs. Its reputation for excellence has resonated with aspirational local families and the development of Wycombe Abbey Schools in China has already shown great promise.

Boarding will be at the very heart of the school and the successful candidate will be expected to take full part in the life of a British style Boarding School.

Closing Date

10th March 2021, although a suitable candidate maybe appointed earlier.
