At the BSN, we recruit highly qualified education professionals fully committed to providing outstanding education to children and young adults. 

Our 575 staff have been recruited internationally and locally, bringing a wealth of experience and perspectives.

Our staff are proud of where they work and are dedicated to the students and families they serve.

When I see everyone working so collaboratively to have the greatest impact on the children's learning and wellbeing, I always feel immensely proud and inspired.

Highly-qualified and Motivated Staff

Teaching and learning staff are experienced in international and British education. 

Together with our extensive teams of support staff, they help ensure that students learn and grow within a caring community. Centralised, specialist staff support whole-school activities, for example, in HR, Finance, Security and IT. 

Our whole school mission puts the student firmly at its heart, and every staff member contributes to this collective purpose. 

 

BSN Staff Values 

Building on our school values and based on the BSN Character Profile, the BSN Staff Values are designed to represent the whole staff body: courage, perseverance, compassion, collaboration, creativity, curiosity, responsibility, and integrity. These have been chosen to reflect the characteristics we believe are essential for our staff to be successful in their roles and to make a positive contribution to our school community. They unite our staff in a shared ethos.

By living and exemplifying these values, we can create a positive and supportive working environment for all. We encourage all staff to reflect on these values and consider how they can bring them to life in their daily work.
