Description
A Great Leadership Opportunity Awaits you in Malaysia
We are looking for a Deputy Headteacher who will join the Senior Leadership Team in our highly successful International Secondary School. The school recently received 'mastering' status in a comprehensive external school review, recognition of the amazing education our students experience. This is a prestigious achievement that we are hugely proud of, but most importantly, we believe that we can always be better. We work collaboratively, embracing research and technology to support our students to reach heights they never even dreamed of, whilst ensuring they feel valued and cared for. If this sounds like the kind of school you would like to be part of leading, we want to hear from you.
As a school leader you will need to be passionate about learning and knowledgeable about the factors that affect learning. You will be good at working with and inspiring your colleagues, our students and their parents. You will be knowledgeable about keeping children safe, well and happy, and appreciate the value of a strong school ethos and community.
Safeguarding
We care about our whole community, young people and adults. Our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our community and to this end we have rigorous safeguarding policies and procedures that we all must follow. Everyone is responsible for safeguarding our children and we have a culture of safeguarding training in all our schools.
About us:
Tenby International Secondary School is based on the beautiful 20 acre Tenby Setia Eco Park campus in Setia Alam. We have approximately 700 students on role, including a thriving Sixth Form. We have a teaching staff of approximately 60 and a full senior leadership team of 5 others who you would work closely with. The International Secondary School follows the National Curriculum for England, and offers CIE, IGCSE and A Levels. Students and staff have access to brilliant facilities and we value being an inclusive and stimulating place to work.

In total, the campus welcomes over 2000 amazing students, aged from 3 to 18 years and from 38 nationalities.
Working at Tenby International Secondary School offers the best of both worlds. For the successful applicant, a leadership opportunity at a progressive and successful international school, with the wider support of opportunities and expertise of others working on the same campus, with the same ethos. We celebrate being Malaysian and love the fact that we combine international thinking to create a diverse and exciting campus.
We believe in creating "Amazing Learning Experiences" for our communities. We work collaboratively to help children be ready for the world and the contribution they can make locally and globally.
We believe that all students learn through good struggles and this at times needs to be consolidated using a variety of teaching methods. Taking risks, being resilient and showing creativity and adaptability for all our communities is important in our learning process. Our students go onto some of the top universities and careers in the world.
We are a member of the prestigious Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), hold certificates for CIE, AQA, IPC, Microsoft and Duke of Edinburgh's Award and are one of only 15 schools in Malaysia to hold the Green Flag Award.
