ABU DHABI // The British School Al Khubairat in Abu Dhabi has a new headmaster.

For the past seven years Mark Leppard had been principal of Doha College, which was recently shortlisted along with three other schools for “Best International School” in the UK Independent School Awards.

“An outstanding school is not about facilities. It is about the quality of education, both in and beyond the classroom,” said Mr Leppard who will be joined in the capital by his wife and three children. “It is about how the school cares for and develops your most prized gift, the children.” He added that BSAK has such qualities.
