Welcome to BISAK from Mr Stephen Viner, Principal
Dear Applicant
Thank you for taking the time to review our recruitment information. I joined the school as Head of Secondary in 2010. I have had the privilege to watch our school grow and develop. I am very proud to lead a school and staff body that is as successful as BISAK.
In September 2019, our dream of a new school become a reality. Our school is now equipped for the challenges of the 21st Century with facilities which our pupils and staff richly deserve. I hope like me you have the desire to work with our pupils on a campus which will allow us to broaden every child’s horizon in ways we cannot yet imagine.
In April 2022, our British School Overseas (BSO) inspection led by PENTA International stated that: “BISAK provides a high standard of education, as a result, pupils make excellent academic progress and attainment. Pupils show positive attitudes to learning and their behaviour is excellent. The levels of care provided ensure all pupils feel safe and thrive at school. Strong leadership ensures a focus on continuous improvement. Pupils and their parents are proud to be part of the school community”. This is the key to our school, our family and ultimately our success every day.
Working at BISAK provides a unique opportunity to be part of a successful international all-through school. Both the Preparatory School and Senior School and Sixth Form work very closely together to ensure our pupils experience the same holistic experience.
Our school has a very family-oriented ethos, including married couples with and without children who attend the school alongside single colleagues. We are very proud of our highly successful ECT programme. With our Teaching School Status it enables us to support new colleagues from University to start the teaching career in the very best environment. Our diverse staff community helps us create a professional, caring and supportive spirit which permeates throughout the school.
If you want to be able to teach in a state of the art school, develop as a professional, work within a supportive community, be able to develop the minds of each child ready for the unknown challenges and future we face, then BISAK is the school for you. If you believe you can work with us and add value to our pupils, I hope you will take the time to apply to our school.
I sincerely hope that in the very near future I am personally able to welcome you to our wonderful school.
Best wishes
Mr Stephen Viner BSc (Hons), PGCE, NPQEL, C. Mgr FCMI
Principal
