  • A highly competitive salary scale, significantly above the national average

  • State-of-the-art facilities and a dedicated staff common room with a collaborative culture

  • An exceptionally motivated and polite student body

  • Extensive opportunities for co-curricular leadership and international travel

  • A generous pension scheme and a comprehensive benefits package
