'Al Hamra re: imagined' is our new project to reinvigorate the existing Al Hamra campus.
Working with world-leading educational architects, Education Design International (EDI) Al Hamra will be an exceptional campus, complementing our other campuses in Riyadh. With refurbishment ongoing through the 2025-6 year, our student enrolments will be capped at approximately 450-500 students from FS1 through to Year 9, with two form entry in most year groups. On completion, the school will host approximately 1200 students (four form entry). We will be offering various pathways through the school, including BTECs at the top end, as well as the traditional A Levels and GCSEs.
We are looking for outstanding teachers and support staff who are committed to ensuring Al Hamra is a roaring success. Successful candidates will need a strong commitment to our REACH values (Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Challenge and Happiness) along with the willingness to go the extra mile to ensure our entire community feels welcomed, challenged and successful. In return, we offer the chance to work with fabulous students in excellent working conditions (including salaries and benefits), great career prospects, professional development, and the opportunity to be at the forefront of this exciting project.
