Cities / Shenzhen / Bromsgrove School Mission Hills

Bromsgrove School Mission Hills



  • Teacher voices and Glassdoor describe the school as a difficult place to work, with one ex-staffer calling it a "dumpster fire" and another saying "all staff would tell you" it is a terrible job.
  • Parents and staff say the executive head has been a major source of friction, with Glassdoor reviewers describing management as bullying and prone to messages at all hours.
  • The campus is in Longhua, far from central Shenzhen and Shekou, and commuters describe a roughly two-hour journey to the main expat hubs.
  • Reviewers report annual student attrition of around 20-30% and very little staff staying beyond their first contract.
  • One Reddit teacher said the school accepts students "regardless of English ability or behavioural issues" and questioned its accreditation, describing it as effectively a primary school without permission to run a high school.
  • Pay sits in the lower-middle of the China international circuit, with reported teacher salaries of around USD 46,000-57,000 depending on experience.
