Deputy Head Academic (Primary)

We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Deputy Head Academic (Primary) to join the Primary School Leadership Team and Extended Senior Leadership Team as the Primary School continues to grow.

King Henry VIII College opened in September 2018 and is the sister school to Christ College, Brecon, one of the oldest schools in the UK. Whilst they are linked through the school motto, each has its distinctive character underpinned by similar values and ethos.  

King Henry VIII College is situated in the modern, urban setting of Cyberjaya; a rapidly developing planned township between Kuala Lumpur City Centre and KL International Airport.  

There are just over 400 children in the Primary School at KH8, and we are looking to grow to a capacity of 500 within the next few years. The staff comprises fully qualified expat class teachers who are genuinely excited about educating the children in their care. KH8 Primary is a vibrant and exciting place to work. We value enthusiastic, proactive staff who are keen on positively impacting the lives of students through teaching and learning as well as pastoral care.  

The successful applicants for our teaching positions will join a dedicated team. Each member of that team has a vital role in setting the tone for the school, and ensuring the school establishes itself as a leading school in Malaysia, South East Asia and beyond.
