Primary PE Teacher (August 2024 start)

Are you an exceptional and committed UK-qualified Primary school teacher looking for a new challenge in one of the world's most unique cities? If so, read on.

*********************************

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to become part of the founding team of Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh (SISPP), "A School like no other in Cambodia", working closely with the Principal, Head of Primary, and a brand new teaching and support staff team. 

Set in the rapidly expanding district of Chroy Changvar, Phnom Penh, boasting an exclusive riverside location along the majestic Mekong River, SISPP will offer a British primary and secondary school-style education based on the National Curriculum of England for pupils aged 3 to 11. 

Our school is the newest member of the Shrewsbury family of schools (Bangkok and Hong Kong) to open for business, and our business is the 'serious fun' of learning. We are deeply connected to one of the most prestigious schools in the United Kingdom, Shrewsbury, with almost 500 years of nurturing numerous distinguished alumni, including the famous naturalist Charles Darwin. The Early Years setting in Phnom Penh opened in the iconic Flatiron building in August 2022. Our new, purpose-built primary school campus is being constructed in a second location and will open in September 2024, and the same with the secondary school in subsequent years.

Our core mission is to educate and empower pupils to flourish in life and contribute positively to the world around them. We believe education's true purpose is to cultivate inner virtues, life skills and character strengths that equip our young people with the confidence and direction to pursue meaningful and successful lives.

We encourage early application if you feel excited about joining our growing team in this young, dynamic school. Teachers with experience in UK schools are strongly encouraged to apply.
