Principal

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced school leader to become
Principal of a leading British school that is recently established in Cairo.
The new Principal will build Repton Cairo beyond its first year of operation
and realise its aspiration to become one of the leading schools in Egypt and
the region.
Repton School was founded in ‎1557 in the heart of England and today is a
world-class, co-educational day and boarding school. It is a modern,
flourishing community with a clear sense of purpose and momentum, providing an
exceptional broad-based education and impressive pastoral support. In ‎2007,
Repton was one of the first UK independent schools to establish an overseas
school. The Repton Family of Schools now comprises seven international schools
and two UK prep schools and a further phase of international development is
under way, coinciding with a strengthening of the group structure to ensure
that Repton's ethos, values and aims are at the core of all its schools.
Repton Cairo has been established as a partnership between Repton in the UK
and Merge Plus Education, a school management company with a long and
distinguished history of running schools in Egypt. It is a strong partnership,
founded on the shared ambition of Repton Cairo becoming the best-regarded
British international school in Cairo. The school is in Mivida, at the heart
of a thriving new development of ‎5,000 properties and well-positioned to serve
other residential areas of New Cairo. It is an English national curriculum
school with a co-curricular programme designed to deliver an outstanding
holistic education in the best Repton traditions. The school has started with
a small Early Years and Junior School intake, and the new Principal will
strengthen these parts of the school, develop the Senior School and guide the
school towards its capacity of ‎1,500 pupils.
This headship will require an experienced school leader, preferably with some
strong primary/junior experience, and with resilience and adaptability,
excellent experience of the British curriculum, and a commitment to
understanding how to make this an authentically Repton school in the
distinctive context of Cairo. The Principal will work closely with both Merge
Plus Education and the Repton Family of Schools, understanding the
expectations of each. They will be able to establish and maintain the highest
standards of teaching and learning and the systems and processes required in
any leading school; they will recruit outstanding colleagues as the school
grows and take a leading role in enabling the school to meet its enrolment
targets.
The position is available from August ‎2023 or earlier for candidates who may
be able to start from January ‎2023 onwards.
