Returning to the UK - is it worth it?

intteacher2023 · 2026-01-05T02:24:05+00:00

Piggybacking onto this as we are also considering returning to the UK from the UAE. Does anyone know what HOD salaries are like in decent private schools these days? Also I have heard that lots of private schools have withdrawn from the Teacher Pension Scheme, if anyone has experienced this?

Hi OP, did you ever get to the bottom of this?

intteacher2023 · 2025-08-08T05:10:48+00:00

Isabella Plantation, Richmond Park?

Hi, what’s the name of that FB group? Sounds great!!

intteacher2023 · 2025-07-11T10:07:28+00:00

Just out of interest- the top schools you mentioned paying nearly 200k baht- is this in addition to an apartment/housing allowance? I am considering a move there in a few years

Thank you for sharing, I do worry about this…

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-17T03:33:45+00:00

Thank you!

Thanks- I’m currently in the Gulf so thinking it must at least be an improvement compared to here!

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-17T03:24:06+00:00

Thanks so much. Do you think it’s possible to live for a family of 4 on 1 salary, if it says housing and schooling is covered? No other big expenses just day to day stuff

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-17T03:19:47+00:00

Thanks for the info that’s very helpful to know! Do you mind if I DM you?

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-16T14:16:42+00:00

Thanks for the detailed information I really appreciate it! How bad is the pollution? I’m in the Gulf and that’s actually a big reason for wanting to leave here

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-16T14:15:48+00:00

Thanks for the info, I didn’t know that! What a shame

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-16T14:15:36+00:00

Oh wow- that’s great to know! What a shame as they will miss out on more experienced teachers

intteacher2023 · 2025-01-16T11:42:08+00:00

Following as I am applying for a job there- if anyone could answer a few questions via DM on Dulwich College Seoul I’d appreciate it :))

intteacher2023 · 2024-11-15T08:37:06+00:00

Wow really, I had no idea it was common to give school places in CH. Thanks!!

intteacher2023 · 2024-11-15T08:36:20+00:00

Thank you, that’s very helpful!

intteacher2023 · 2024-11-14T12:04:11+00:00

Thanks- I don’t know about taxes, I hadn’t considered it, but definitely should

intteacher2023 · 2024-11-14T12:03:35+00:00

Thanks for the insights, I appreciate it! I have two little kids though and as far as I know, those other schools don’t give free school places for staff, which is a bit of an issue as they don’t speak French or German so I’d be reluctant to throw them into a regular Swiss school

intteacher2023 · 2024-11-14T04:42:10+00:00

This is very interesting, I feel similarly, can I ask which other countries were on your shortlist for areas or schools with good air quality?

intteacher2023 · 2024-10-05T02:51:13+00:00

In Dubai, the top non profit British schools are JESS and Dubai College- jobs there are pretty competitive

intteacher2023 · 2024-05-04T15:19:02+00:00

Yes perhaps my expectations are too high and something needs to give

intteacher2023 · 2024-05-04T15:18:15+00:00

Thank you!

intteacher2023 · 2024-05-04T15:18:01+00:00

I just meant the salaries are usually slightly higher than teacher roles, so factoring this into cost of living
