Mark is Secondary Assistant Principal at the ISF Academy in Hong Kong. He is a trained History teacher who has also dabbled in Maths and is looking forward to starting a new Leadership role with the English Schools Foundation in Hong Kong, later this year. 

We discuss:

• his training in the UK and subsequent move to Asia;
• his step up into senior leadership at the ISF academy;
• potential differences between staff and parental attitudes when working in a multi-cultural environment;
• his favourite era of history to teach and thoughts on whether or not a knowledge rich curriculum is something to focus on within history as a subject;
• Lastly, I ask Mark about his mission statement, ethos or central values should he one day open a school of his own abroad.
