MR. DAVID TANSEY

PRINCIPAL

My own education and my career in education have provided opportunities that I never dreamed of when I was growing up in Liverpool, England. I joined Bloomsbury as Head of Secondary in 2021 and I’m very proud about being asked to take over as Principal in 2023. Previously, I was the principal of international schools in Yangon, Myanmar after holding similar roles in Kuwait and Bahrain in the middle east. Prior to that, I was the Headteacher of two secondary schools in the north of England. Outside school I enjoy running, swimming, cycling, and playing the drums, all of which I do with great enthusiasm and very little talent. My aim is always to help young people develop the knowledge, skills, understanding, and values they need to thrive in and make sense of their rapidly changing world.

MS. DIANNE IRVING

HEAD OF PRIMARY

I love being part of the Bloomsbury family and I am proud to be part of the leadership team. I am from Australia and grew up in a beautiful outer suburb of Melbourne. I studied teaching at Deakin University in Melbourne and began my teaching career in special education, teaching students with special needs. I have taught in both Australian and international primary schools in all key stages. I am passionate about teaching and leading the primary team so that we deliver the best for our children. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to live and work in Thailand, a country I have a deep respect for. In my spare time I love to explore, swim, dive, travel, spend time with family and try new things. I am also a writer and have over 60 published books.

MR. MATTHEW MOORE

HEAD OF SECONDARY

My journey into education began as a teaching assistant in London while studying English Literature at university. That experience sparked my passion for helping young people build confidence and discover what they are truly capable of. After graduating from the TeachFirst programme at the University of Manchester, I taught in schools across the North West of England before moving to the Cayman Islands, where I led a dynamic, forward-thinking English department known for its rigour and high standards. During my time there, I was proud to help grow A-Level English into one of the school’s largest subjects and to help create a culture of learning that reached far beyond the classroom walls. I also worked as part of the leadership team that shaped the school’s improvement journey to ‘Excellent’. These experiences deepened my belief in the power of an ambitious, challenging curriculum — one that sparks curiosity, broadens horizons, and gives students the confidence to set ambitious goals and pursue them with purpose. Outside school, I love spending time with my wife and our two children, going on long family walks, and watching football as a long-suffering Arsenal fan. I am incredibly excited to be joining Bloomsbury as Head of Secondary and to bring my passion for curriculum to this vibrant school community. I look forward to helping every student feel seen, supported, and inspired to make the most of all that Bloomsbury has to offer.
