School Management

Our experienced team is characterised by a strong sense of responsibility and a high level of educational expertise.

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. At the same time, we are aware that a school can only educate young people to meet the challenges of today’s world successfully if it is managed based on clear conceptual, economic, organisational and social principles. We have been committed to living up to this responsibility.

Below, all members of the school management are introduced in their respective language.

A graduate of the University of Huddersfield, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in Education, Marc Corner went on to complete his studies with a Master of Education (Leadership and Management) at the Open University.
