This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced educator with a passion for curriculum design to help lead the next stage of our Junior School’s development. You will provide strategic leadership of teaching, learning and assessment across Years 1–6, developing an ambitious and inclusive curriculum that builds secure foundations, encourages curiosity and inspires a lifelong love of learning.
Working closely with the Head of Junior School, the Assistant Head Academics and subject leaders, you will support excellent classroom practice through coaching, collaboration and professional learning. You will bring a strong understanding of student-led learning and inquiry-based approaches, alongside the ability to use assessment effectively to improve outcomes for every learner.
Our commitment to Human Flourishing in the Age of AI invites us to consider the knowledge, skills and qualities children need for their futures. You will help translate this into meaningful learning experiences that develop independent thinking, creativity, ethical judgement and a sense of responsibility. The role also includes oversight of Junior School staff cover and a contribution to the daily leadership of the school.
We offer a happy, collaborative school community where educational innovation, professional growth and a shared sense of purpose are at the heart of what we do. We welcome applications from candidates who share our Wellington values of Kindness, Courage, Respect, Integrity and Responsibility.
About Wellington College
Founded by Queen Victoria and opened in 1859, Wellington College was created to honour the memory of the first Duke of Wellington, who not only defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo in 1815 but also went on to serve the country as peacetime Prime Minister. Over 160 years later, the Tatler calls Wellington ‘clearly a leader in the world of education’ and it is, without doubt, one of the top schools in the UK and across the globe.
About Wellington College Bangkok
Wellington College Bangkok opened in August 2018 and will grow to accommodate 1,600 girls and boys aged 2-18 years. The school’s facilities are world-class: the design and appearance are modern yet combine distinctive features of Wellington College, Berkshire and elements of Thai culture. The buildings are set amidst a large, beautiful, green campus in Krungthep Kreetha, a suburban area midway between Bangkok city and Bangkok International Airport, right next to the expansive greens and fairways of the Unico Grande Golf Course.
In our first year of operation, we filled classes from Pre-Nursery to Year 6. In September 2024, we opened our first Sixth Form classes, having expanded naturally year on year. Student numbers in the four-form-entry Junior School are very buoyant and, on the back of becoming the first school in the world to gain full COBIS Patron’s Accreditation within the first year of operation, and subsequent full membership of FOBISIA and CIS Accreditation, the College is already recognised as one of the best international schools anywhere. Our Senior School buildings are spectacular and extraordinary, confirming Wellington as the most dynamically progressive and educationally significant new school in the region.
It is a fundamental principle that every child can thrive when provided with outstanding, wide-ranging and open-ended opportunities to develop, explore and learn. Our students’ individual responses to these opportunities, shepherded by some of the best teachers in the world and supported by our uniquely dedicated pastoral teams, can set them on the path to extraordinary academic achievement - which, at Wellington, routinely goes hand-in-hand with excellence in performing and visual arts, sport and service to others. This is what it means for the whole child to flourish.
