Job Description

Aldar Education is seeking an outstanding Head of Year (Primary) to join Muna British Academy in Abu Dhabi, commencing in January 2027.

Since our establishment in 2009, we have built and maintained a strong reputation for excellence, consistently achieving an “Outstanding” ADEK rating since 2015. In August 2025, Muna British Academy relocated to a state-of-the-art campus in the prestigious Saadiyat Lagoons community. This move has enabled us to expand our provision—now welcoming students from FS1 to Year 8, with plans to extend to Year 13 in the near future—within an inspiring environment that supports our mission of delivering exceptional education.

Our new campus features world-class facilities designed to foster academic excellence, creativity, and personal growth. This relocation marks the next exciting chapter in our journey and offers an unparalleled opportunity for our community to grow and thrive in a premier educational setting.

As we continue to expand our secondary year groups in the upcoming academic year, this is a fantastic opportunity to join the highly successful Aldar family of schools and contribute to shaping the future of Abu Dhabi’s leading educational group.

Successful candidates will be closely aligned with our core values and ethos and will demonstrate a genuine understanding and appreciation of the values and culture of the region.
