Job overview
The British School Al Rehab New Cairo, Egypt
Seeks a Head teacher for August 2015 or possibly January 2016
The Opportunity
An excellent opportunity arises for a dynamic and visionary leader to further develop this well-established school in Cairo as the present post holder is returning to England after 9 years of service. The School is part of a group of 4 high quality schools provided for residents of the major housing developments built by the Talaat Mostafa Property group, a premier Egyptian company. It was recently inspected and accredited as a BSO school with an overall rating of “good” with some areas rated “outstanding” including relationships with stakeholders. The campus is 15 minutes from the international airport in the gated, secure and well-organised city of Al Rehab.
Currently in its fifteenth year, The British School Al Rehab (BSR) has an excellent reputation in the community, most years are full and over-subscribed, with a roll of approximately 970 children; examination results are excellent and staff turnover is very low at about 10 per cent year on year.
The “British” curriculum is used, based on the Cambridge Primary Curriculum and The International Primary Curriculum. We also teach an approved Arabic curriculum using Egyptian Ministry of Education work programmes and books.
The challenge
The school seeks a leader who is visible and approachable while managing the varying demands of a highly active school. Ensuring continuing high standards will be an important focus of the new Head teacher who will be expected to adopt strategies to promote student recruitment and control costs.

This is a rare opportunity to play a major role in building a World Class school.
