A Word of Welcome from the Principal
Dear Colleague,
Thank you for your interest in this post and for your time reading about the British School in the Netherlands (BSN). We aim to provide a world class education for all our students, encompassing high academic achievement as well as a broad and balanced experience that develops the whole person.
BSN is one of the largest international schools in Europe, but that doesn’t mean it is impersonal. We pride ourselves on looking after our staff as well as our students, so we are constantly working to create a culture of respect, fairness, integrity and support. In return we expect enthusiasm, engagement and a full commitment from those who work in our school.
Successful candidates to the BSN will have a strong track record of professional expertise, but this doesn’t mean long years of service. We want the teachers in our school to be ambitious for our students, and if you are ambitious in your career also then the school will certainly act as an accelerator in that respect.
We are proud of our students and what they achieve, and share with them a pride in our school. We believe that we offer one of the best educational experiences in the world. I hope that looking through these details you will see how you might become part of our learning community. We will look forward to receiving an application from you.
Martin Coles
Principal
