Teacher of Mathematics (Nov 2024 - Jun 2025) - King George V School

At King George V School (KGV), our purpose is based on our belief that every student can ‘be their own remarkable…’ This drives our vision to create a ‘school for one’, a place where each and every person engages in remarkable learning to achieve at high levels and be the best they can be.

Our school is also about continual improvement. As an agile school, we collaborate and innovate to make a difference in the communities we serve and lead. KGV School is part of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), the largest provider of English-medium international education in Hong Kong. Our school delivers the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) in years 7 to 9, the iGCSE in years 10 and 11, after which our students progress to study either the IB Diploma Programme or the more vocationally oriented BTEC applied learning programme in years 12 and 13.

At KGV School, all our staff are leaders and we shape our culture by:

• Modelling and maximising learning through building capacity in others and participating as a learner;
• Contributing to our collaborative and professional environment by enacting our four elements of trust – compassion, competence, communication and consistency;
• Accepting personal accountability for our behaviours and the quality of our outcomes.
