In our 75th interview is with Jens Niedzwiedzki, hear from the head teacher of the British section of Shape International School, a Ministry of Defence (international) setting located on the NATO base in Mons, Belgium.
'What qualities do you need to become a headteacher?' is the key question we ask in the podcast with Jens, unpicking his background and what led him to be teaching in Europe. We ask what factors influenced Jens to swap a pet insurance job for teaching and the challenges of working in MOD schools, as well as the benefits of working in MOD school.
We discover more about life on campus, diversity and representation across an international context and what Jens’s current focus is for the school, the vision and values and his advice for people considering deputy headship and those thinking about headship.
