We are delighted to announce the appointment of our newly appointed Head Master, Mr Scott Carnochan.

During Mr Carnochan’s tenure at Brighton College Al Ain, the school not only maintained its “Outstanding” ADEK rating but also solidified its standing as the premier educational destination in the ‘garden city’. As Head Master he exhibited remarkable leadership qualities, elevating the academic benchmark and delivering an excellent experience for the school community. With a background spanning 14 years leading schools in the UK, Mr Scott Carnochan’s journey led him from his first role as Head Master in the United Kingdom at the age of 34 to Head of Holmewood House School in Tunbridge Wells. His leadership was later promoted in Tatler School Guide 2020, to note that the institution ‘thrived under his leadership.’ In addition, he has also held leadership positions at Repton School in Derbyshire and St John’s College School in Cambridge. 

Commenting on his new appointment, Mr Scott Carnochan said, “The journey ahead holds immense promise, and I am excited to collaborate with our wonderful pupils, dedicated teachers, and supportive community to build upon the excellence which has gone before me and to begin a new chapter of success together. My commitment to fostering a dynamic learning environment and nurturing growth aligns perfectly with Brighton College Abu Dhabi’s values. Together, we will inspire and empower our pupils to embrace their potential and shape an exciting future. It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to lead such a wonderful school and its community”.
