Job description

Overview

SHRI Guru Nanak Public School in Dehradun, Uttarakhand is on the lookout for a Head of School. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. About the institution: SHRI Guru Nanak Public School in Dehradun, Uttarakhand — a senior secondary setup, established 1998, — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school invests consistently in academic resources, classroom technology, and a culture of professional respect. What the role looks like: the Head of School owns outcomes for the assigned section/portfolio — academic quality, faculty development, parent engagement, and student wellbeing — and contributes to the school's strategic plans. Day to day, you will:

  • Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
  • Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
  • Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
  • Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
  • Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Requirements:
  • Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
  • Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
  • Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
  • Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.
  • A track record of building and retaining strong teaching teams. Why join us:
  • Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹9.8 LPA – ₹26.2 LPA).
  • Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
  • Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
  • A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
  • A campus that respects educators as professionals. Submit your application here so SHRI Guru Nanak Public School can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
