\"BrendanDipont Education is very proud to announce the appointment of Brendan Law as Executive Principal of<\/span> Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science<\/a>.<\/span><\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n

Brendan will join us in China in August 2022, taking over from Dipont\u2019s Director of Education, Peter Derby-Crook<\/a>, who stepped in to lead the school this academic year<\/a>. In having worked with Brendan previously, Peter is utterly delighted: \u201cWe really couldn\u2019t have wished for a better leader, in Brendan, to take this amazing school forward in its next stage of development. I can\u2019t wait to see how the school evolves further under his guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brendan brings with him a very impressive portfolio of achievements in international education, but this role provides a new type of challenge: \u201cI\u2019ve not worked in China before, and I\u2019m fully aware that there will be a great deal I need to understand swiftly.<\/p>\n

“The chance, however, to develop a young school with such prestigious foundations, already catering for nearly 2,000 students, with the added challenge of blending both Chinese and international educational models, will be such a professionally rewarding experience. I can\u2019t wait to meet the whole school community who have contributed so much already.\u201d<\/p>\n

A legacy of success<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Currently the Director General of Misk Schools, Brendan has responsibility for providing leadership in all aspects of the school\u2019s operation. He brings over 35 years of international educational experience and is using it to shape and guide his team so that together, they can deliver the school\u2019s ambitious vision for a new paradigm in Saudi education, as part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s Misk Foundation and KSA\u2019s Vision 2030.<\/p>\n

“The chance to develop a young school with such prestigious foundations with the added challenge of blending both Chinese and international educational models will be such a professionally rewarding experience.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brendan joined Misk Schools in August 2019 from GEMS Education in Dubai, where he had responsibility for a portfolio of 14 British premium schools across the UAE and Africa.<\/p>\n

Prior to his role at GEMS, Brendan was Director of Education at The Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) in Abu Dhabi, and Founding Headmaster of its flagship school, Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, which he launched in 2014.<\/p>\n

Under his vision and direction, Cranleigh became a multi-award-winning school, securing New British International School of the Year 2017 as well as a number of other accolades in recognition of the school\u2019s creative curriculum and outreach programs. Prior to his time with TDIC, Brendan established and led Brighton College Abu Dhabi as Founding Headmaster. Based on the significance of his work in Abu Dhabi, he was listed as a UAE Education Influencer 2017 by WhichSchoolAdvisor.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m at my best when I am building teams and galvanizing them behind a shared and inspiring vision. Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science has a bold, forward-thinking set of goals.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brendan began his career in 1985 in South Africa from where he moved to Sweden as private tutor to the President of SAAB\u2019s children. His next career step was to the UK and into the independent boarding school sector. He joined Bedford School in 1995 to teach English and sports, where he also held the roles of Senior Boarding Housemaster and Acting Registrar. In 2003, he was appointed Headmaster at Westbourne House School where, during his eight-year tenure, the school grew by 33% and achieved record results.<\/p>\n

Breaking new ground in China<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Brendan is thrilled at the prospect of bringing his energy, talent, experience and expertise to his new posting.<\/p>\n

As he says: \u201cI\u2019m at my best when I am building teams and galvanizing them behind a shared and inspiring vision. Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science has a bold, forward-thinking set of goals. I am greatly honored and privileged to be joining a team that is already delivering innovation in the classroom and to know that together, we are on an extraordinary journey to break new ground in K\u201312 education in China.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brendan will be joining Dipont alongside his wife, Linda, and we wish them both every success for this exciting new chapter of their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
