About the Post
The Head of Sixth Form fulfils a pivotal role in shaping the aspirations, achievements and experiences of our oldest students. This is an opportunity to lead and develop an outstanding Sixth Form, combining academic ambition with exceptional pastoral care, intellectual curiosity, personal development and preparation for life beyond school. It is a role requiring vision, energy, resilience and a genuine determination to make a lasting difference to young people's lives.
Our new Head of Sixth Form must bring a deep understanding of what makes an exceptional Sixth Form; an unyielding determination to secure the very best outcomes for every individual student; a strong appreciation of the best of British education; intelligence, warmth and sound professional judgement; and the ability to inspire ambition in students and colleagues alike. Above all, they must be prepared to lead by example, set exceptionally high standards and take personal responsibility for creating a Sixth Form experience that is genuinely distinctive.
The successful candidate will be a member of the Senior School Leadership Team, leading and supporting talented Sixth Form Tutors and working closely with academic and pastoral colleagues. They will combine strategic vision with operational excellence, ensuring rigorous academic monitoring, exceptional university guidance, outstanding pastoral provision and a rich programme of leadership, scholarship, service and enrichment. They must be equally comfortable inspiring young people to aim higher, supporting them through challenges and attending to the detail that ensures every student is known, supported and challenged.
Academic excellence is firmly established at Wellington College Bangkok. Our Sixth Form must build upon these foundations, providing the academic challenge, individual guidance and breadth of opportunity that enable students to achieve outstanding A Level results and secure places at leading universities around the world. Our ambitions, however, extend well beyond examination results. We want our students to leave Wellington as confident, thoughtful, articulate and principled young adults, ready to make their mark on the world.
Wellington staff are always seeking to improve, to redefine, to grow. If someone simply likes the idea of doing what they have always done, or what everyone else does, but with nicer weather and great beaches nearby, this is the wrong school for them.
Yes, the weather and beaches are wonderful, but we are here to do things better, to work harder (yes, not just smarter), to be more committed, to raise aspirations and to give more attention to every individual student than we have ever done before. We are ambitious for our students, ambitious for our school and ambitious for ourselves. Our Head of Sixth Form must share that ambition and have the drive, creativity and determination to turn it into something exceptional.
This is a demanding role, but also an enormously rewarding one. It offers the opportunity to shape the future of our Sixth Form, influence the lives of young people at a defining stage of their education and play a significant part in the continued development of one of the region's most ambitious and successful international schools.
