Stuart Hill

Stuart was appointed to ISPH as the Head of Secondary and has since spent time working as Co-Principal before being appointed full time to the Principal role.

Stuart has been working in education for over 25 years and started his career as a Physical Education teacher in High Wycombe, England. He took his first leadership post as the Head of Physical Education and Sport in the same school before moving to one of the best state schools in the UK, Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School in Marlow, where he became the Head of Key Stage 4 and led a successful rugby programme. Prior to moving to ISPH and Vietnam Stuart lived and worked in Hangzhou, China where he was part of the Executive Leadership team at RDFZ King’s College School.

Stuart completed a Bachelor of Education degree in Physical Education from Exeter University and has since completed the highly sought after NPQH as well as studying for a Master in Educational Leadership. Stuart has also completed qualifications in Leadership Principles from Harvard and The Penn Resilience Program (PRP) from Pennsylvania State University and attained accreditation as part of the Times Higher Education Counsellor Programme.

Stuart believes firmly that education should never be quantified by just academics, and that a young person’s well-being and character development are equally as important for their success. A happy student learns and strives, and will show greater progress and pride in their development when fully motivated and challenged.

Stuart joins ISPH with his son Kieran. In his spare time Stuart is very active and enjoys everything involving the outdoors. He is a keen cyclist and hiker, and loves climbing in the mountains. Stuart also enjoys sailing, cooking, fishing and warhammer, a hobby he can regularly be seen sharing with students in CCA time.
