SECOND MASTER/DIRECTOR OF STUDIES, English School of Mongolia Ulaanbaatar
'Non scholae, sed vitae discimus'
We teach and learn not just at school, but for life itself.
Appointment for September 2012
Coeducational Day School | 600 students | Grade 1 to Grade 11
The English School of Mongolia (ESM) is one of the oldest independent schools in Ulaanbaatar and occupies a spacious site central to the capital city of Mongolia. Historically the school has delivered a Russian Programme of education. Increasingly classes are now studying an English Curriculum and moving to a syllabus that very much reflects that delivered in the UK and taught by Native English Speaking teachers.
It believes that the future lies in the provision of an education that is genuinely English in style and substance. The Director wishes to embed the English educational tradition in the school by delivering the International Baccalaureate and seeks to appoint an experienced, inspirational individual, well practised in flexible teaching techniques and capable of leading the development of this aspect of the new curriculum. The appointment will be critical to the strategic development of the school and its' ability to produce students who are questioning, intellectually alert, leading players in a team and ice-breakers rather than consolidators.
The Second Master/Director of Studies will be the effective number two in the senior leadership team, a person of energy, enthusiasm and with a sense of humour, someone passionate and ambitious about the success of the school. Successful applicants will lead the introduction of the International Baccalaureate programme or Cambridge 'A' levels as the age range of students extends in the future (to age 18 years). They will be strong professional practitioners and be expected to have and maintain current knowledge of trends and developments in relevant educational areas to ensure that the school remains at the forefront of educational provision in the future.
To a suitable candidate the post offers an opportunity to lead a new initiative in this growing school and a chance to experience the adventure of living in this culturally rich and exciting part of the world.

FOUNDING DIRECTOR and DEPUTY DIRECTOR (PASTORAL), Malvern College Qingdao, China
For September 2012
Malvern College, in partnership with Babylon Education, seeks to appoint a Founding Director and a Deputy Director (Pastoral) for Malvern College Qingdao, China, which is set to open in September 2012 in a purpose-built campus located just outside the city centre.
Qingdao is a major seaport in Shandong Province, looking out over the Yellow Sea and one hour’s flight from Beijing and Seoul. It has a rich heritage and a temperate climate. It is one of the most affluent and fastest growing cities in China and in 2009 the city was deemed the most liveable city in China. Students at the College will be some of the brightest Chinese youngsters from the province. They will generally be aged 16 and over, and, after an initial foundation year, will follow a two-year A level programme with the aim of gaining admission to leading universities worldwide. Initially the College will have about 100 students, but will grow over 4 or 5 years to have 1000 students in total. It will be fully boarding.
The Director will have full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the College, as well as a central role in its development.
The Deputy Director (Pastoral) will have broad responsibility for the pastoral life of the College, including the boarding provision and the co-curriculum.
The successful candidates will work closely both with Malvern College UK and with Babylon Education’s Oxford and Harvard educated Chinese founders, to shape and develop the school into a leading international educational institution.
Both posts command highly attractive packages, at least matching those of comparable posts elsewhere.
Closing date: 2nd March; initial interviews at Malvern College on 15th March; final interviews, probably to take place in Qingdao, in early April.

You will have energy and vision, with a flair for communication and able to build and lead effective teams. With an approachable and warm personality, you will demonstrate a passion for delivering a high quality international education.

HEAD OF PRIMARY, British Council School, Madrid, Spain
700 pupils | Coeducational | Day| 6-11 years |ECIS | NABSS
April or September 2012
British Council School, located in Madrid, was founded in 1940 as a primary school and has grown impressively since then to an Early Years, Primary and Secondary School of 2,000 students, of which 700 are in the Primary section. The school is unique in many ways; aside from being the only school run by the British Council, which operates in 110 countries worldwide, it is one of the largest schools in Europe and one of very few offering a completely bilingual and bicultural education. The vast majority of students are Spanish and they are taught the British National Curriculum, in English, as well as elements of the Spanish curriculum. The School has an outstanding reputation for its quality education and it benefits greatly from its association with the British Council – not least from the excellent professional development offered to its staff.
The Head of School is seeking to recruit an exceptional individual to lead the Primary section, who can demonstrate the necessary experience and commitment to build upon the success of the school, bringing further innovation and improvement to the quality of teaching and learning for children in Years 2 to 6.
To be the successful candidate, you will be an experienced UK and international primary/prep school leader. The ability to speak fluent or at least a high level of Spanish is essential – without this you’ll find it hard to communicate effectively with many of the parents. You will have energy and vision, a flair for communication and will be a team-builder. You’ll also need to have an approachable, warm personality with a sense of humour. As a member of the whole school senior leadership team, the ability to be supportive, collaborative and hard-working will be essential. You will need good knowledge and understanding of the National Curriculum for England and of current best practice in teaching and learning.
This post offers you an exciting opportunity, not only to lead a truly impressive school, but also to develop professionally as part of a worldwide organisation which is recognised for excellence in education.
The full job description and person specification will be available shortly.
