For the first time in its 441 year history, Uppingham School UK has opened a sister school overseas. Uppingham Cairo is a pioneering institution that blends the values, ethos and academic excellence of one of Britain’s most prestigious schools with the cultural, artistic and linguistic richness of Egypt.

Our founding year has been one of extraordinary success, with BSO accreditation by ISI, COBIS and BSME accreditation, membership of HMC, IAPS, AGBIS and AoBSO, and the launch of our unique Day Boarding programme. As we begin our Senior School GCSE courses in September 2025 and  with our Sixth Form opening in September 2026, we are seeking an exceptional Deputy Director of Admissions to help shape the next chapter of our story.

This is not simply an administrative role. It is a pivotal leadership position in the life of a remarkable school. You will work alongside our Director of Admissions to attract, engage and enrol families who share our vision, ensuring that every enquiry is met with warmth, professionalism and the sense of prestige that defines Uppingham. Your work will be instrumental in building our school community, influencing our growth and ensuring that the calibre of pupils matches our uncompromising standards.
