I am looking for an OUTSTANDING female Whole School Principal to join my client for the next academic year. The ideal candidate will have experience of leading a school in the GCC region, with an outstanding track record of academic and operational experience.

Staff is mixed from Arabic backgrounds, but the school is also recruiting expatriate staff to raise the standards of the school. It has made a steady progression over the years. The school is looking for an experienced leader that can take the school to a higher grade.

I am seeking a leader that "leads by example" and is an effective Team Player that can combine the strengths of the teaching force to drive the academic standards higher.  The school has HUGE potential but requires a leader that has a "firm but fair" approach and one that looks to develop a STRONG team from within.
