Can anyone give me some information on this school with regards to the salary, package, reputation (it has had some mixed reviews on ISR, but no recent reviews), facilities, resources, and what it is like to live in Phuket etc. Thank you.

Phuket is the most expensive spot in Thailand

Phuket is a nice place to live as long as you are not too concerned about saving money. Travel options from Phuket are great. Salaries are generally lower than in Bangkok even though Bangkok is a cheaper place to live.

A new headmaster joined last year and has caused a few waves. They 'lost' many (25+) teachers through a random drug test in the spring.

The school does publish pay scales, but as others have said Phuket is probably the most expensive province in Thailand.

Still a great place to live if you don't mind the rain.

Okay, the drugs story has totally gotten out of hand. They lost 8 teachers not 25. Lol.
