Founding Head of Senior School - #1174765

SPGS International School (Singapore)

An exceptional opportunity to shape the future of one of the world's most distinguished educational institutions as it establishes its international presence in Singapore.

SPGS International School (Singapore) is seeking an inspirational and ambitious Founding Head of Senior School to join our dynamic Senior Leadership Team and play a defining role in the development of an extraordinary new school.

Rooted in the 120-year heritage of St Paul's Girls' School in London, consistently recognised as one of the UK's most academically successful schools, SPGS International brings a remarkable educational tradition to Singapore. Our ambition is to create something genuinely special: a school where intellectual curiosity, academic excellence, creativity and individuality flourish together, and where young people are encouraged to think independently, question confidently and discover the joy of learning.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a founding leadership team, combining the heritage and educational philosophy of an internationally renowned institution with the energy, ambition and possibilities of a new school. Working closely with the Founding Head of School, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape the Senior School from its earliest stages, building its academic culture, developing an exceptional team of teachers and establishing the traditions, experiences and expectations that will define the school for generations to come.

We are looking for an outstanding educational leader who combines intellectual ambition with warmth, imagination and a genuine commitment to the development of young people. The successful candidate will share our conviction that exceptional academic outcomes are not the sole purpose of education, but the natural consequence of an environment in which students are inspired, challenged, supported and deeply known.

As Head of Senior School, you will lead the development of an ambitious British curriculum, including IGCSE and A Level pathways, while championing an educational experience that extends far beyond examinations. From scholarship, oracy and independent research to the performing arts, sport and service, you will help create a school in which students are encouraged to pursue their interests, develop their character and realise their potential.

Above all, we are seeking someone who is excited by the opportunity to build. Someone who enjoys working collaboratively with talented and committed colleagues, who brings both vision and the determination to turn ideas into reality, and who recognises the extraordinary privilege of helping to establish a new school with such a distinguished heritage.

For the right candidate, this is more than a senior leadership appointment. It is an opportunity to help write the next chapter in the story of SPGS, and to create an educational legacy of lasting significance in Singapore.

We warmly welcome applications from accomplished and aspiring senior leaders who share our educational philosophy and are excited by the opportunity to contribute to the founding of SPGS International School (Singapore).
