Academic Organisation

Headteacher:Mr Andrew Auster

Description

Haileybury Astana currently educates pupils in Pre-Prep and Years One to Six (ages 3 to 10). The school will increase in size as the age of the founding pupils increases. By 2018, the school will cater for over 700 pupils, from Pre-prep to Year Thirteen (ages 3 to 18). Beyond the day element, the school intends to provide accommodation for pupils from the rest of Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region as a whole. To achieve this, a purpose-built boarding house for pupils from age 13+ will open in September 2014.

The school teaches the English curriculum in all years, with the intention of preparing pupils to sit their IGCSE examinations by the age of sixteen, and to follow the International Baccalaureate programme in the Sixth Form (Years Twelve and Thirteen). We aim to prepare our pupils for admission to the best universities around the world. In addition to academic excellence, there is a strong emphasis on the arts and sports. A partnership agreement means that Haileybury UK exercises academic control by monitoring standards in teaching and learning.

As the school grows over time, there will be an increasing requirement for numbers of academic and support staff year on year until 2018. The Headmaster, Andrew Auster would be pleased to receive CVs from highly qualified teachers interested in joining us in our adventure in Kazakhstan.

The school is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to a policy of treating all our employees and job applicants equally. It is our policy to take all reasonable steps to employ and promote employees on the basis of their abilities and qualifications without regard to race, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, and so on.
