Director of Sport: Haileybury Astana School

Astana is a purpose-built, modern, international, rapidly growing cosmopolitan city. Haileybury Astana was formally opened by The First President in September 2011.

The school initially took pupils only from years 1 to 6 but is now populated up to year 13 with the Junior school offering a mix of National Curriculum and the IPC up to year 6. The first cohort of IGCSE pupils taking public exams was in summer 2017 and IB diploma in summer 2019. It draws on the educational values and ethos of Haileybury UK and has increasing connections with Haileybury College to ensure that pupils of the school are able to benefit from educational opportunities offered by the UK in the form of reciprocal visits, tours and planned exchanges.

The school also offers a wide range of extra curricular activities and is increasingly becoming an academically successful school.

Continued professional development is an important aspect of staff support at Haileybury Astana. Reciprocal opportunities in conjunction with Haileybury UK are planned, and the school offers both the NPQML and the NPQSL in-house in association with UCL as professional qualifications for aspiring staff.
