Job overview

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 Kowloon Junior School. Situated in the Ho Man Tin 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. The school is equipped with fantastic teaching and learning facilities having been completely rebuilt in 2013.

ESF Kowloon Junior School has a proud history in Hong Kong and is an integral part of the local community. Parents are prepared to wait many years to gain a place in the school – knowing that the world-class staff will not just provide the best education for their child, but that they will also work tirelessly to nurture their child’s interests and passions.

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.

If you think you have what it takes, then apply today.
