Uppingham Cairo
Head of Senior School
Uppingham Cairo opened to pupils aged 3 to 13 in New Giza in September 2024 in sight of the Great Pyramids of Giza. It is the first overseas branch of Uppingham School, a leading co-educational independent boarding school in the UK and will expand over time to cater to pupils aged 3 to 18. Based on the values and ethos of Uppingham School, Uppingham Cairo embraces Egypt’s rich history and culture to bring a school of exceptional quality.
Our commitment to a holistic education is as wholeheartedly held here in Cairo as it is in historic Uppingham School in Rutland, UK. Intellectual rigour, exploration, critical analysis, creativity, risk taking, communication, teamwork – all are central to the way we guide, nurture and inspire our young people.
The school is located on the edge of New Giza, a stunning new development 10km from Cairo city centre, in view of the pyramids and close by to the new National Museum of Egypt. It is the first fully integrated upscale development in Egypt and, encompasses ten pedestrian neighbourhoods where all of Uppingham Cairo’s staff live. Giza is a very peaceful and safe oasis and yet close enough to Cairo to enable our staff to enjoy all the city has to offer.
Working closely with the Headmistress, the Head of Senior School will be instrumental in the development and expansion of a Senior School of the highest quality befitting the Uppingham name. Providing vision, direction and leadership for the Senior School they will create, maintain and develop a highly effective and warm environment that enables pupils and teachers to reach their full potential.
The successful candidate will be a highly capable and impressive leader, with the experience and credentials to command the respect of the Senior School and wider Uppingham Cairo community.
