Principal

Southbank is a school whose quality and identity rest on its commitment to the International Baccalaureate and promotion of internationalism. With over seventy nationalities on our roll, we live and breathe the spirit of internationalism, as reflected in our three programmes of learning as well as the many activities outside the classroom which enhance and enrich an individual’s education, and the life of the school as a whole.

Located in central London, next to Regent’s Park and close to Oxford Street, Southbank International School’s secondary campus is in the perfect place to use ‘London as a classroom’.

We would like to appoint a Principal for our Westminster campus that hosts 11 to 19 year olds over two sites.

Our Westminster campus is one of three schools that make up Southbank International and is part of Cognita, a global schools network of almost 70 schools in eight countries, spread across three continents! Working closely with the school’s cross campus leadership team, which includes the primary school Principals, the new appointee will continue to develop the school’s vision.

We welcome applications from qualified, experienced professionals looking for a vibrant, challenging and rewarding experience.

Candidates are evaluated on four key areas: high quality teaching practice, contribution to learning area and curriculum development, relationships with students, staff and parents and contribution to the whole school. The Principal will be responsible for leading a school which is entirely compliant and has recently received an ‘outstanding in all areas Ofsted report’. Our school is renowned for being a friendly, warm and supportive community.

Should you wish to arrange a visit to the school, or have a query, please email the PA to the Executive Principal: michele.key@southbank.org.
