Published on: 28th April, 2023

#27 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by me, I’m Simon and I run The Bonjour Agency. If you work in an independent school then this is the podcast for you where we don’t talk about work but we do talk about to people in the independent school sector.

Now, today we’re zipping over to the Middle East to speak to David Ardley, he’s the founding Principal of a new school in Saudi Arabia. The school is Beech Hall School Riyadh and it opened last August.

So I’m about to ask him what it’s like being a British person working in a school overseas, what his own background is like, how that helped him to have an open mindset for living in a different country, I ask him about The Line, a mega construction that’s just started in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and we talk about much much more.

This is a great episode, I think you’re going to love it so come with me as we jump on a flight to Riyadh for today’s podcast, it’s David Ardley.

About the Podcast

I'd Rather be at the Beach
Welcome to I'd Rather be at the Beach, the podcast for school marketing managers that's *not* about school marketing management. Instead we talk about everything else that school marketing managers spend their time doing. Their families, their hobbies, the previous jobs they've had, the music they're into, the books they're reading and the holidays they've been on. This is the podcast for you if you're a school marketing manager who likes your job, you might even love your job. But you'd rather be at the beach.
