Halcyon International School: Director

Halcyon is an extraordinary school, just over ten years old and rapidly growing in
popularity. It is the only not-for-profit, co-educational, exclusively International
Baccalaureate school in central London, offering both the DP and MYP
programmes. It was founded by a group of four like-minded parents who
recognised the need to use innovative teaching methods to empower students in
navigating a complex and changing world. Since its foundation, it has been
recognised as a truly creative school, fostering a thinking community, committed to
holistic teaching and learning.

This is a wonderful and unique opportunity to bring new ideas and energy to a
young, pioneering and innovative school. The new Director will have a strategic
and hands-on role in planning and implementing the next phase of the school’s
development, not least to oversee a future move to a new site and to continue to
expand the exceptional education Halcyon offers. The school has had a superb first
decade, and the next Director will continue to take it onwards and upwards.
The Trustees are looking for a Director who is committed to the International
Baccalaureate education, where the school’s values are at the core; a Director with
resilience and experience to navigate uncertain times; and a Director who has the
vision and creativity to grasp new opportunities with confidence and enthusiasm as
they arise.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of delivering strong academic
and pastoral excellence, a passion for excellence and a commitment to a holistic
education. In a competitive environment for independent international education,
the appointee must have the ability to inspire and motivate staff and pupils,
winning the trust and confidence of all the stakeholders.
