Hear from Our People

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Hear what they have to say about their journeys, achievements, and the culture that makes Haileybury Kazakhstan a great place to work.

One of the things I really love about Haileybury Almaty is the strong sense of community. Our staff are incredibly supportive, warm, and collaborative; you feel part of a team from day one. Almaty itself is also a wonderful place to live  – vibrant, welcoming, and easy to settle into. 

Elizabeth Kirton

Acting Assistant Head of Pastoral

Having spent much of my career in the UK and UAE, Haileybury Astana presented something new, something different. From the very beginning of the interview process what shone through every interaction was a commitment to getting to know me as a professional and as a person. When you begin a relationship on those foundations special things happen. Connections form quickly, acclimatization to place, teams and mission are purposeful. From this Astana, and Haileybury, have seamlessly became home.

Thomas Hill

Head of Senior School

I love living in Astana. The people are amazing and really friendly and helpful, the city is easy to get around and I love the weather, especially the snow. There are so many things to do- ballet, concerts, sport events , dinner or coffee with friends and my all time favorite cross country skiing. The school is a great place to work, there are amazing facilities and resources. The best part is the local support staff especially the awesome Teaching Assistants. 

Ginny Everett

Junior School Class Teacher & Kindergarten Milepost Lead

Four months into the move, I’ve learned so much and there’s still plenty to discover. Starting afresh is never easy, but the warm welcome and strong sense of community among the staff have made all the difference. The school environment is fantastic, the food is a real perk (I’ve never eaten so much salad in my life), and while the school days are long, they are rewarding. Messages of thanks and seeing students appreciate the time and effort you put in make every day worthwhile.

Richard Abson-Bennett

Director of Sport

I have always felt very safe when walking around Almaty, day and night. I often walk down the river path close to my house with my daughter and see many other families enjoying the space.

Sara Harman
