Geneva English School

There is a real community spirit that I haven't encountered in any other school in 20 years of teaching. Partly this is due to the small size but also the staff and students. Teachers set an example of kindness and commitment and the students follow suit. One result: the school isn't selective but behaviour is even better than the excellent schools I previously worked at. A previous leader of the school was very unpopular but was unable to erode the family atmosphere - a sign of the school's character and resilience.

The leadership could make sure their use of student data is always statistically significant.

We have an excellent group of colleagues at school! Everyone is well respected at all levels, and it is a very collaborative environment. Parents and students are great too and known to all of the staff. Parents are supportive and involved in life at school.

We have recently had a change in leadership leading to stability and secure financial management - whilst there are still things to iron out its so much more positive.

Working at GES has been a truly rewarding experience for me. The staff is incredibly supportive, creative, and dedicated to hard work, which creates an inspiring and collaborative environment. The new leadership team is really open-minded, approachable, and genuinely caring about the well-being of all employees while maintaining a strong commitment to providing excellent education for the children. They actively listen, encourage open discussions, and make thoughtful decisions to foster a positive workplace culture. There are regular opportunities for professional growth through CPD, drop-ins, and peer coaching, which are instrumental in teachers' development Staff with children can benefit from free afterschool care and reduced fees, allowing their children to enjoy the wonderful educational environment provided by the school. I wholeheartedly recommend working at GES to anyone seeking a supportive, dynamic, and forward-thinking workplace, as well as an excellent academic environment for students. It’s a place where you can thrive both personally and professionally!

The recent changes in the school’s leadership, with the new Director General and Finance Director, have led to significant improvements in the financial systems and overall organisation. While there is still work to be done, we can already feel the positive impact of these changes.

Outstanding new management team including Director General and all Heads of School (Primary, KS3 and KS 4&5) - staff are valued, treated with respect and kindness. Salaries are higher than all other schools in the region except for the International School. As an experienced teacher, I earn 50% more than my counterpart at the British School and I am paid 12 months of the year (17 weeks paid holiday). Students are lovely and parents are extremely supportive

Reading a few of the reviews here - these give a completely false impression of the school. The whole of the senior management and ownership changed in May and since then things are so much better for staff, parents and students. All former senior managers (Headmaster, Finance; HR) were disastrous but are no longer employed by the school.

Garderie périscolaire pour les enfants d'âge primaire jusqu'à 18h00 et beau terrain.

La direction est désorganisée et la communication est mauvaise. Les repas gratuits ont été supprimés, ce pourrait être le café ensuite.

There are some good staff, who work very hard. There is free parking.

The wages are below average for the area and roles. Challenging working conditions. Management can be difficult to work with.

Good teachers despite changing working conditions.

Lousy management - lack of respect for staff. Poor communication and lack of stability for employees.
