Principal - ESF Kennedy School

The English School Foundation (ESF) is the largest international education system in Hong Kong providing English medium education to students K1 to Y13. For over 50 years we have successfully created the conditions for our students to thrive, and be the best that they can be. We do this by delivering a world-leading education built on the principle that every child is unique.

We are looking for a world-class leader to be the Principal of ESF Kennedy School. Situated in the Pok Fu Lam district of Hong Kong, the school is a five -form entry primary school made up of 900 students and over 115 full and part-time staff.

ESF Kennedy School is a vibrant, diverse, and joyful school that is very much a part of the community that it serves. It has world-class staff drawn from all over the world and is supported by an enthusiastic parent body. It is a school that has creativity at its core, with every member of staff committed to nurturing the interests and passions of every one of their students.

We are looking for someone who has the knowledge and experience of leading a large and complex school – someone who can inspire the staff, engage our families and, above all, deliver an environment that enables our students to thrive. This is not a job for just anyone. We want someone who can help take an already successful school to the next level.

In joining ESF as a Principal, you will play a leading role in shaping the future of one of the most high-profile and high-performing education systems in the world. For more than five decades, we have been at the vanguard of educational thinking – constantly seeking out new ways to deliver the very best for the 18,000 students who learn in our 22 schools.
