  • Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
  • Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.

  • Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
  • Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
  • Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.
  • High professional integrity and a clear communication style. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹10.8 LPA – ₹26.0 LPA).

  • Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
  • A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
  • Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Apply now using this listing, and your CV reaches the Cambridge School hiring team within minutes. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; expect a response inside one working week.
